This free standing sloop rig affords her wide and unencumbered side decks. The location of the mast step frees up the center of the boat, making for ample living accommodations. 'Joyous' is especially bright below with her birds eye maple and cherry trim, tow-tone interior, numerous opening hatches and port lights.&nbsp;Both the primary stateroom aft and her V-berth boast an abundance of storage space as well as adjacent/ ensuite marine heads.&nbsp;Her galley is fit for a gourmet chef- outfitted with a large fridge and separate freezer, a Force 10 3 burner LP gas stove, oven and broiler.&nbsp;
An electric-powered, 2 speed, winch affords push button ease for hoisting her sails with incredible ease!&nbsp;Her design easily allows for short-handed, or single handed sailing- and while her sail plan has been adapted from the traditional wishbone headsail, she is easily handled by one person without leaving the safety and comfort of her cockpit.&nbsp;
&nbsp;
<h4>On Deck:</h4>
This Center Cockpit cuiser shines in any harbor with her bright white topsides, teal canvas and green bottom paint.&nbsp;Starting from her bow, 'Joyous' is outfitted for the serious cruiser.

She is equipped with both a substantial Fortess danforth and a 48lb CQA anchor. Her HOOD headsail is set up in a Furlex 300s roller furler. All her sail controls run aft to her cockpit.&nbsp;
Her sail plan has been modified from the traditional wishbone headsail configuration to a Harken tacking track. Her fully battened mainsail stows comfortable within her convenient FURLBOOM in-boom furling system. The Freedom 45 was designed with safety and comfort as principle values and thus she boasts a metal toerail and heavy duty stainless lifelines.&nbsp;
Following along her wide and unencumbered side decks, you'll enjoy the two-tone, tan and white non-skid and waterways. This bi-color scheme reduces glare when underway in the sun and is much simpler in terms of annual maintenance than teak decking.

This sturdy structure provides ample protection from the elements and works to extend your season while cruising in New England waters. Her mainsheet meets the deck at another Harken traveller bar, deck-mounted aft of the cockpit enclosure. These control lines also lead into the cockpit for ease of operation while underway.&nbsp;
Entering her zippered enclosure, you'll cross a comfortable teak tread and come into a spacious and well laid out cockpit.
