Best Sailboat For Solo Sailing {Budget Liveaboard Cruiser} [Capable & Affordable 35' $ailboat]

WELCOME!!! To this full in-depth boat tour of a beautiful 1987 S2 35C. “Freda Kai” is a center cockpit sloop rigged monohull sailboat. She has a 6′ draft, 50′ air draft, 12’6″ beam and a 29hp Volvo engine. Sailing at an average speed of 5.9 knots. While sporting 720w of solar panels, it easily makes all it’s own electricity.

S/V Freda Kai has been sailed solo and with crew by my good friend, mentor, and buddy boat Jay Safro. This boat has been his home for the past eight years and more than 12,000nm. From this boat Jay loves to explore and go on adventures wherever his anchor rests across the Caribbean. Choosing to spend most of this time on anchor rather than a marina, like a true sailor should.

This is a humble, and comparatively affordable sailboat. But I think that is an upside. Because unlike most catamarans and other larger vessels. Freda Kai is highly affordable and has an very low cost to maintain. Allowing Jay to be able to sail and cruise full time. Without worry about breaking the bank. Earning money here and there when he needs to by working as an upholster on other boats, or doing fiberglass and any other job that might need to be done on a wide range of boats. Jay is truly a jack of all trades, and has been an insightful influence on my own sailing and cruising lifestyle over the past several years.

Jay has future plans of changing and adding just a few systems to his boat. Mainly a water-maker. But all in all, this boat has been and is a fully capable ocean going cruiser. In the future he plans to make more improvements and upgrades to this boat. Stay tuned to see what comes next! As well, Jay regularly takes on crew to join in his sailing adventures.
