Remarks:
A well cared for Freeman 22 in good condition. An ever popular classic Norfolk Broads cruiser and the perfect size for a family or weekend retreat for two, historically passing under all Broadland bridges and manageable single handed.
The Mark II has improved headroom, the distinctive step in the side deck and the ‘eyebrow’ bow windows as well as the traditional veneered wood and teak throughout that Freeman’s are known for, all still in beautiful condition.
Her current owners comment:
“Offered for sale now as we have purchased a sailing boat. Goose’ offers comfortable accommodation for one to four people (and a dog!) it maintains the Freeman character in bucket loads and we hope you enjoy it as much as we have.”
