Freedom 24 (Tripp)

Freedom 24 (Tripp) is a 24 ′ 4 ″ / 7.4 m monohull sailboat designed by William H. Tripp, III and built by Freedom Yachts between 1994 and 1995.

Rig and Sails

Auxilary power, accomodations, calculations.

The theoretical maximum speed that a displacement hull can move efficiently through the water is determined by it's waterline length and displacement. It may be unable to reach this speed if the boat is underpowered or heavily loaded, though it may exceed this speed given enough power. Read more.

Classic hull speed formula:

Hull Speed = 1.34 x √LWL

Max Speed/Length ratio = 8.26 ÷ Displacement/Length ratio .311 Hull Speed = Max Speed/Length ratio x √LWL

Sail Area / Displacement Ratio

A measure of the power of the sails relative to the weight of the boat. The higher the number, the higher the performance, but the harder the boat will be to handle. This ratio is a "non-dimensional" value that facilitates comparisons between boats of different types and sizes. Read more.

SA/D = SA ÷ (D ÷ 64) 2/3

  • SA : Sail area in square feet, derived by adding the mainsail area to 100% of the foretriangle area (the lateral area above the deck between the mast and the forestay).
  • D : Displacement in pounds.

Ballast / Displacement Ratio

A measure of the stability of a boat's hull that suggests how well a monohull will stand up to its sails. The ballast displacement ratio indicates how much of the weight of a boat is placed for maximum stability against capsizing and is an indicator of stiffness and resistance to capsize.

Ballast / Displacement * 100

Displacement / Length Ratio

A measure of the weight of the boat relative to it's length at the waterline. The higher a boat’s D/L ratio, the more easily it will carry a load and the more comfortable its motion will be. The lower a boat's ratio is, the less power it takes to drive the boat to its nominal hull speed or beyond. Read more.

D/L = (D ÷ 2240) ÷ (0.01 x LWL)³

  • D: Displacement of the boat in pounds.
  • LWL: Waterline length in feet

Comfort Ratio

This ratio assess how quickly and abruptly a boat’s hull reacts to waves in a significant seaway, these being the elements of a boat’s motion most likely to cause seasickness. Read more.

Comfort ratio = D ÷ (.65 x (.7 LWL + .3 LOA) x Beam 1.33 )

  • D: Displacement of the boat in pounds
  • LOA: Length overall in feet
  • Beam: Width of boat at the widest point in feet

Capsize Screening Formula

This formula attempts to indicate whether a given boat might be too wide and light to readily right itself after being overturned in extreme conditions. Read more.

CSV = Beam ÷ ³√(D / 64)

Self tacking jib on furler. Asym. on articulating sprit. The number built is unknown but not a big seller.

Boat: Santana 525
, a newer Suzuki , all new Haarstick Pentax in 2008 (main, , and spinnaker) as well as the old ones. The looks to be in good shape and is well within my limit. It has all the features I want for my next (lifting , roomy , a bit of space down below, small , , etc). I've read enough to know that Freedoms have their fair share of haters. I've never spoken to anyone who's sailed one before but I have come across with free-standing masts and have sailed on a Nonsuch 26 at my local marina. Freedoms don't tend to be as competitive as some others but that is not really a concern. It looks like it would be fairly easy to hand with the self-tacker on a . The large main might take a bit to get up though. Anyways, any is appreciated.

range. I vote for take it out and see if you like it. If it like you want, buy it. If not keep looking.

Boat: Freedom 38
and if the is above 12 knots, I'm more than competitive with lighter and smaller . I'm sure there must be some Freedom owners who didn't like their boats, but I've not heard of them or met them yet. That's not to say these niche boats are for everyone. So just decide if it's right for you. All the best

McKee Craft Freedom 24

  • By Dave Lear
  • Updated: September 21, 2007

mckee_24.jpg

Based on the successful launch of its Freedom 28 a couple of years ago, North Carolina-based McKee Craft recently stroked another home run by adding a shorter version of the boat to its lineup. The Freedom 24 not only fishes hard for its size, but is comfortable and safe when Mother Nature decides to throw a curve, as I discovered during a real-world test last summer.

Gentle swells were supplanted by stacked five- to six-footers by the time we reached a series of artificial reefs 20 miles off Carolina Beach. I steered the boat while my hosts, McKee owner Wayne Hewitt and Scott Harris, McKee’s vice president for sales and engineering, retrieved baits from the 52-gallon live well and set our spread for trolling. The helm comes standard with a premium offshore wheel with power knob, tilt hydraulic steering and a large mounting area for wide-screen electronics, so I was able to circle the marker buoy while keeping a close eye on the GPS and sonar. The wraparound windshield and rugged factory-installed T-top provide a protected vantage point for operation.

“Although this boat is styled after our Freedom 28, it has a personality all its own,” Harris told me as we waited for a strike. “We designed it for serious offshore and inshore fishing with single or dual outboards, and like all McKee Crafts, the 24 is unsinkable and constructed of all-composite materials. The hull and deck are bonded with our Pressure Bonding System to create a single, unitized part that is strong and rigid. And we back it up with a transferable ten-year warranty.”

The 24’s deck is cambered for rapid self-bailing, and the molded non-skid provides excellent traction. The spacious cockpit is roomy, and a walk-through door and Euro-transom allow more maneuverability aft. The lockable console compartment will house a portable head, and a salt water washdown and 13-gallon fresh water system are also included in the base price. In fact, options for the Freedom 24 are limited, as McKee prefers to sell its boats as a comprehensive package rather than charge for individual add-ons. Among the notable exceptions are a flush-mount compass, weather-curtain package and a foldaway rear bench seat.

¿

Aside from its structural integrity, the Freedom 24 also shines with fishing features. The combination leaning post/live well features an integral two-drawer tackle box and three-drawer tackle center for convenient access, along with a backrest and foldaway footrest. Rod holders are strategically positioned in the covering boards and across the transom, with more on the standard T-top, which includes outriggers, electronics box, spreader lights and overhead lighting.

In conditions such as we encountered during our test, the 3 1/2-inch toe kick and wraparound cockpit bolsters are welcome features. And when the fish are biting, the twin 170-quart macerated fishboxes will also come in handy. Both boxes, along with the cavernous 300-quart compartment in the foredeck, are fully insulated, and the hatches are equipped with heavy-duty, pneumatic rams. Eight-inch, pop-up bow, stern and spring cleats give the 24 a clean (and tangle-free) look. The recessed stainless-steel bow rail and Euro-transom add to the contemporary profile.

Our test boat was set up for competitive king mackerel fishing, and was powered by twin 200-hp Evinrude Ficht Ram outboards. The hole shot made you hang on, and our top speed was 52.8 mph with 138 gallons of fuel. Range was impressive, as well. At a cruising speed of 40.5 at 4000 rpm, the 24 is capable of running 282 nautical miles with a ten-percent safety reserve. Despite the growing seas, our ride home was soft and mostly dry, thanks to the boat’s 24 1/2-degree deadrise, weight (3,600 pounds dry) and fully injected, closed-foam flotation.

In a perfect world, every fishing day would be blessed with fair skies and following seas. In the real world, however, that’s not always the case, which is why the Freedom 24 will be appreciated by hardcore fishermen around the country. It truly lives up to its name.
