Nope.
We owned a Freedom 40 for 8 years. It had much to recommend it. We increased the sail area from 770 sq ft to 880 sq feet and went to full battens.
The boat does not go to weather worth a darn in head seas. Many times we had to wear ship or start the engine to push the bow through a tack. This is with a 20000 lb boat that had considerable mometum when sailing. The 28 is a much lighter boat with less proportionate sail area.
We had 20 years of sailing under our belt before this boat -- including extended open water sailing. We sold the Freedom because we would not trust it offshore.
