Broker's Comments

Boatshed Norfolk are pleased to offer this very original, all gelcoat, Freeman 26 Diesel to the market.

I have known this owner and boat for close on 20 years and he has looked after her throughout that time having serviced her every winter and it shows in how she runs.

She is almost totally as Freeman made her and has been kept that way, Unmolested examples are now very hard to find especially in this condition. She has been used most weekends by the current owner who has now bought a bigger boat after taking 14 years to get to that decision.

This boat has charm and character and a lot to offer the freeman enthusiast or first time boater.

Mechanically, she appears to be just as she should be and is very well maintained. She is clean and dry and her gelcoat appears to be in good order. She has a good canopy and upholstery and her Freeman woodwork is just fine.

She is a 52 year old boat so does have some small wear here and there, as you would expect, but this is not very evident unless you look very hard.

Her galley is fully functional with sink, oven, hob and grill and is all concealed. She also has a sea toilet fitted. The saloon converts to a double bunk and the forward Vee berth is spacious and comfortable.

This boat must be viewed if you are looking for a good, honest and genuine example of the Freeman 26. She has a current Boat Safety Certificate to mid 2025 and her Broads toll is paid to March 25. Her mooring close to Norwich may also be available. She was last out of the water early this year and was freshly antifouled at that time.

These boat details are subject to contract.
Note: Offers on the asking price may be considered.
