About the Freedom 21

With limited specifications available in public databases, the Freedom 21 represents an intriguing entry in the catalog of smaller sailing vessels that warrants further research for prospective buyers. This compact sailboat likely emerged during an era when manufacturers were exploring innovative approaches to recreational sailing, though detailed documentation of its design philosophy and construction methods remains scarce. Based on its numerical designation, this vessel falls into the trailer-sailer category, making it an attractive option for sailors seeking portability and storage convenience. Boats of this size typically excel in protected waters, day sailing applications, and short coastal adventures where their manageable scale becomes an asset rather than a limitation. The relative obscurity of detailed specifications suggests either limited production numbers or a boat that served a specific niche market. For potential owners conducting research, this presents both opportunity and challenge—while finding comprehensive technical data may prove difficult, discovering one of these vessels could offer unique sailing characteristics not found in more common designs. Prospective buyers should prioritize hands-on inspection and seek out existing owners' experiences to fully understand this boat's capabilities, construction quality, and sailing behavior before making purchasing decisions.

About this estimate
  • Prices are based on recent asking prices from public listings — not actual sale prices, which are typically lower.
  • Condition is not factored in. A well-maintained boat with new sails and engine can be worth significantly more than a project boat of the same model.
  • Location affects price. Boats in landlocked states or areas with fewer buyers often sell for less than those on the coast.
  • Year of manufacture is not filtered. Older examples of this model will generally be priced lower than newer ones.
  • Included equipment varies widely. A boat with a full suite of electronics, dodger, and new standing rigging may command a large premium.
  • Outliers are automatically excluded using statistical filtering to improve accuracy, but some bad data may remain.

Under 0 — Ultralight racer0–90 — Performance racer90–150 — Cruiser/racer150–210 — Typical cruiserOver 210 — Heavy/slow cruiser
246
Ballast/Displacement Ballast to Displacement ratio shows what percentage of the boat's total weight is ballast. Higher values generally mean better initial stability and stiffer sail carrying.
30–35% — Typical cruiser35–45% — Stiff performance boatOver 45% — Racing oriented
25.0
Displacement/Length Displacement to Length ratio measures how heavy a boat is relative to its waterline length. Lower values mean a lighter, faster boat.
Under 100 — Ultralight racer100–200 — Light cruiser/racer200–300 — Moderate cruiser300–400 — Heavy cruiserOver 400 — Very heavy
