Jabberwocky
is a Freedom 28 sloop, hull # 24, designed by Gary Mull and built by TPI in 1987. She spent her early years on the New Jersey coast and in Raritan Bay until we brought her through New York Harbor, up the East River, past Hell Gate and out Long Island Sound and back to New England in May, 1998.

Before Jabberwocky, we were daysailors and "fiberglass puptent" cruisers. Now our cruising grounds are Buzzards Bay, the Elizabeth Islands, Martha's Vineyard, Nantucket and the New England coast as far north (and east) as Mt. Desert Island. We look forward to the next step.




All in all, I feel the Freedom 28 should provide her owners with many good miles of safe and really enjoyable sailing with all of the comfort and ease of handling so well known in the Freedom line.
