Freedom 24 Tripp

Designed by renowned naval architect William Tripp III and built during a brief two-year production run from 1994-1995, this distinctive 24-footer represents an intriguing blend of Freedom Yachts' trademark unstayed rig philosophy with modern performance-oriented design. The lifting keel configuration makes it particularly appealing for shallow water exploration and trailerable convenience, while the substantial 6-foot draft when deployed provides impressive stability for coastal cruising. The freestanding fractional sloop rig eliminates the complexity and maintenance demands of traditional standing rigging, offering simplified sailing that's ideal for singlehanding or short-handed crews. With a sail area to displacement ratio of 22.15, the boat delivers spirited performance in moderate conditions, while the comfortable displacement of 3,250 pounds strikes a nice balance between nimble handling and seakeeping ability. The fiberglass construction by Tillotson Pearson ensures solid build quality, and the moderate beam of 8.25 feet provides reasonable interior volume without compromising performance. The low comfort ratio of 13.5 suggests this boat favors sailing performance over extended cruising accommodations, making it well-suited for day sailing, weekend coastal adventures, and sailors who prioritize sailing dynamics over creature comforts.
