Remarks:
One of the first production motor cruisers of the 1950/60’s Freemans are famed for their robustness and excellent varnished wooden cockpit and interior with china cabinet! True luxury cruising of the time.
An ideal starter boat for a family being easy to handle and with ample accommodation and storage for 4 people and good headroom throughout.
This is a very tidy example with a good clean interior. She benefits from new head linings in each cabin for added comfort and to keep condensation at bay and her engine is understood to run very smoothly.
Her owner comments:
We have owned Polly for about 10 years and my late husband spend a lot of time re furnishing her. She handles lovely with a good running engine which has been wel maintained. Inside she is very comfortable and cosy
