A bit of Freeman history – Using the same hull as the Freeman 25, the Freeman 26’s superstructure was developed from the Freeman 22 Mk2. We see the return of the step in the deck and larger cabin windows. The Freeman 26 offers larger accommodation and together with the Freeman 22 Mk2 formed the back bone of what is generally known as the Freeman range.

“The Waterside Marine Sales team of James and Lynne, provided me an excellent service during this procedure, I'd not experienced before. James suggested he knew nothing about yachts, more a motor cruiser salesman, but having sold me one, and then sold one for me, he demonstrated a convincing knowledge and understanding of the yacht world. Thanks again, Nick Poole.”
