Free Spirit defies description. She  is a center-cockpit, double ended, modified-full keel, cutter-rigged cruising sloop. Reviewed in Sailing by designer Robert H. Perry, she was classed as \"a superlative yacht, one of the more outstanding yachts I have ever been asked to review.\" Designed by Robert Finch of California as a performance oriented cruising yacht, she was built by Robinson Yachts using \"incredible detail work exhibiting the finest degree of craftsmanship I have ever seen.\"

Replacement value of this fine yacht is estimated well above $700,000, but you would be hard pressed to justify the full price when comparing it to this meticulously maintained yacht for $225,000.You won\'t believe her remarkable condition!

 Her hull is three layers of 3/8\" cold molded mahogany, each bronze nailed and glued. The first two layers are diagonal to each other while the third layer runs fore and aft. Protective layers of fiberglass cloth bonded with epoxy resin complete the outer structure. This boat was built over three years, not assembled in 2 weeks.

Forward and to port in the main cabin is a pilot berth and dining settee. There is generous storage space beneath the pilot berth. The dining table is a double drop leaf teak with a beautiful varnish surface. The fabric in the main salon is like new and contributes to  warm, welcoming interior. Notice that the port and starboard settees pull out to create extra berths for visitors and friends. The lee cloths also make a comfortable sea berth.

The cabin sole is teak and holly. There are 15 bronze opening ports throughout the interior with 1/2\" tempered glass.

To starboard is a large entertainment center with storage shelves for books, liquor, stereo equipment and a small flat screen TV. Additional drawers are located under the settees for storage of personal effects or tools.

A large hatch overhead provides additional ventilation . The interior photos illustrate the finest craftsmanship in every detail.
