She is the center cockpit version with two cabins, two heads (one with a separate shower), spacious salon and galley with 6’ 5” of headroom below. The spacious owners cabin with a centerline queen berth is a lovely place to relax, and friends have nearly the same amount of space in their private forward cabin. Both spaces are equipped with en-suite heads.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e \u003cspan\u003eOn deck THUMPER III\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e has a large sugar scoop transom swim platform with ladder, spacious center cockpit, and manageable sail area carried by her free-standing carbon fiber mast. You read that right, free standing carbon fiber, meaning no standing rigging to replace! With a self-tacking “Camberspar”  jib, the crew can sit back and enjoy the sail without having to tend any sheets during a tack, as the skipper utilizes the boat’s remarkable sailing capabilities.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e \u003cspan\u003eTillitson-Pearson Inc. (now TPI composites) hired Gary Mull to re-design the Freedom line and the first 45-foot hull was commissioned in 1987 modeled after the previous 42-foot version. This newer version boasts a larger swim step and a larger cabin house, reminiscent of Mull’s Ranger 26, and much better sailing performance than its predecessor. In the build process, care was taken to ensure the deck and hull layup was sound and would last for years to come. To this day, TPI stands behind the Freedom line and remains a helpful resource for owners. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e \u003cb\u003e\u003cspan\u003eHighlights:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cspan\u003eNew bottom paint (2023 2 coats, Seahawk Sharkskin)\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cspan\u003eFull exterior detail\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cspan\u003eNew North Sails stack pack sail cover\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cspan\u003eNew headliner in salon, galley, and salon side decks\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cspan\u003eNew main salon cabin windows\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cspan\u003eExterior teak varnished \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Swiftsure Yachts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47758432829603,"sku":null,"price":95500.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0747\/6271\/5299\/files\/DSC_2086-scaled.jpg?v=1781028074","url":"https:\/\/swiftsureyachts.com\/products\/1989-freedom-45-center-cockpit-thumper-iii","provider":"Swiftsure Yachts","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
