About this yacht

Luna Blu was built for the production manager of Freedom Yachts, Paul Dennis specifically for his parents with custom cabinets throughout and with additional opening ports. It was a fresh water boat for the first 14 years ownership. This Freedom Yacht has comfortable cabin space and wonderful ventilation. Above deck features the unique and proven Freedom Yachts free standing carbon fiber mast and self tending jib with a camber spar jib boom which makes the boat very easy to tack and a joy to sail. The Doyle stack pack provides easy storage of the fully battened mainsail.

Interior is in very good condition, with abundant storage and sleeping accomodations for up to 7 people if needed. The sugar scoop transom/swim platform was added by Paul Dennis in 2007 providing much improved water access.

Equipment & accommodations

Accommodations

Interior is fully finished and offers excellent accomodations for cruising. Headliners are made of vinyl padded fiberglass panels. Furniture, bulkheads, and cabinets are made of teak and plywood with teak veneer. The cabin sole is teak and holly on top of marine grade plywood. Hull lining is made up of ash slats.

Aft cabin on starboard side features and double berth for two, three opening ports, a hanging locker, and a cabin door for privacy. There is also an additional locker at the foot of the berth and a storage locker overhead that takes advantage space in the cockpit coaming that is not normally accessible.

Galley features a two burner propane stove with oven, large well insulated ice box, stainless steel sink, dish storage outboard of the stove and aft of the ice box. There is also additional storage in an overhead locker that takes space in the cockpit coaming, a draw next to the sink, and large cabinet below the sink. Aft of the sink is a "pass thru" trash door to the cockpit locker. There is also a very large opening side port above the stove  for additional ventilation (this is normally a fixed port window on other Freedom 30's).

Across from the galley to starboard is the stand up nav station with chart table and  the electrical panel. Below the chart table is a large locker and access to the batteries.

The salon features settees on the port and starboard and a fold down bulkhead mounted table that can accommodate up to 6 people. The port settee converts to a double berth while the starboard settee has a storage compartment at the forward end that opens up to convert the starboard settee to a single berth. Outboard of both settees is generous amounts of storage. The large windows make the salon bright and well ventilated, and allow you to see out easily when standing in the salon.

The head compartment has a manual Raritan toilet and a sink with a pullout faucet that can also be used as a shower. There are two large storage lockers outboard of the toilet, with another large locker below the sink. There is a full width mirror on the bulkhead above the sink. There is an overhead opening hatch as well as a opening port which provides ample ventilation in the head.

The forward cabin has a V berth with a removable center filler cushion. There are two drawers on the aft end of the berth (which most Freedom 30's do not have), as well as shelves on either side of the berth, and a unique shelf cubby at the head of the berth on the port side (that takes advantage of the space not accessible below the counter in the head compartment). At the head of the starboard side of the V berth is hanging locker. Forward of the V berth is a divided anchor locker to allow for storage of the primary and secondary anchor rode.
