If you are familiar with the FRASER, then you know that they were designed for the Pacific Ocean and built to sail the Pacific Northwest. This sloop rig design makes this vessel easy to handle single or as a couple. Free Life II was registered in April 1982 and has served four owners since, her first taking her as fare as Australia. We’re ready to let her go as we don’t spend the time with her with the way our lives have changed.
We’d purchase her in June of 2014 and have been in constant refit since; new sails in 2016, de-stepped and re-rigged the entire sail plan in 2018, bringing all sail control into the cockpit, new electronics and auto-pilot, battery’s, wiring, the list is long and we’ve records for all.
Well appointed, full V-berth forward, and ¾-berth aft. Midship is storage lockers Starboard, head with sink and shower to Port, then salon that can make down into a double berth, or two singles, aft the salon, the galley, engine compartment, and electronic station and wet locker. The galley is fit with a 3-burner propane stove with oven, fridge, freezer, double sink, HWT, hot and cold pressured water, and cupboards. Activity in the galley is easily managed under sail with good bracing points.
The vessel is powered by a C240 (2.4 Ltr) Isuzu engine developing 50 HP, driving into the transmission into a 1 ¼” SS shaft and 21” 3-blade bronze fixed pitch propeller. Engine has 4,000 hours to date. All underwater work was completed in June 2026.
If you are looking a solid, well-designed thoroughbred built for the Pacific coast that offers a safe platform for the novice to the expert sailor, this vessel is a must see. Her 44-years of experience and condition have proved such, as well as the many sister ships. She needs a new owner with a passion for exploring the coast.
