Freeman 26 Twin Screw Version

Todays appointment was situated on the River Bure in the picturesque village of Horning on the Norfolk Broads.


Todays Survey on this Freeman 26, an unusual marc as this one had twin petrol engines. Using the same hull as the Freeman 25, the Freeman 26's superstructure was developed from the Freeman 22 Mk2. We see the return of the step in the deck and larger cabin windows. The Freeman 26 offers larger accomodation and together with the Freeman 22 Mk2 formed the back bone of what is generally known as the Freeman range.

Buying a Freeman CruiserJust a few odd pointers to help you on your way to owning a Freeman boat.
  • It is always a good idea to have a full survey before you purchase any boat.
  • Most insurance companies will require a survey before they insure your boat, so you might as well have the survey before you purchase it.
  • Buy a boat you can afford not to use. There is always a bigger or better boat on the market, so buy one that's well within your budget.
  • You don't buy a Freeman you marry it! They do need love and care.
  • Always allow for realistic running costs as any boat will simply deteriorate if not maintained.
  • Why not consider a boat bank account, putting a little away each month ensures there are funds to hand when it's time for a major refit.
  • Information on Freeman Boats for sale can be found in the Freeman Boat Sales section.
