S/V Shari is a Norwalk, Connecticut based 1995 Freedom 40/40 For Sale By Broker. Responses to inquiries may come from a broker who is representing the owner as a fiduciary. This owner requires financial settlement only. No trades.
If insurance issues have arisen because of an aged standing rig on another boat, Shari removes that variable — she has no standing rigging. Her free‑standing mast simplifies underwriting and reduces long‑term maintenance, making her an especially attractive option for owners seeking straightforward, reliable coverage and lower upkeep costs.
Shari is a David Pedrick–designed, Tilottson‑Pearson–built 1995 Freedom 40/40. Pedrick’s hull and deck proportions emphasize seaworthiness and efficient waterline length, while Tilottson‑Pearson construction is known for solid build quality and attention to structural detail. The Freedom platform is engineered for easy handling and balanced performance, particularly when sailed short‑handed.
Below decks Shari offers a practical two‑stateroom, two‑head arrangement. The layout separates sleeping areas for privacy and includes an aft head with an enclosed shower for comfortable liveaboard or extended‑cruise use. The interior volume and systems layout are optimized for cruising comfort and functionality.
Technically straightforward, comfortable and well constructed, Shari is ideal for cruisers who value reduced rigging maintenance, simpler sail handling and a proven designer/builder pedigree. Contact the seller for more details, inspection arrangements and documentation on the vessel’s systems and maintenance history.
