An excellent example of the classic Freeman 22 Mk2, Friday's Child has been fully renovated to a very high standard by her current owners, and is ideal for river cruising and estuarial adventures.
She has a new canopy and cabin cover made by Sparks Marine Trimmers in a colour that matches the transom bench seat in the cockpit. There is seating for 4 in the cockpit, including the helm position. The helm includes wheel, throttle, and all switches and gauges needed to safely operate the boat, as well as the classic Freeman gear lever rising from the deck. The cockpit floor has been replaced with elegant Parquet flooring and there is generous storage under the transom seat.
Friday's Child comprises of four berths in an open plan cabin that can be divided into two by opening a full length hanging locker door. The large V berth with twin singles in the bow converts to a double with the use of an insert, and this forward cabin has shelving, and access to the deck hatch.
The well designed main cabin has a galley to starboard comprising a two burner gas hob, a small basin with a new tap, and ample storage cupboards beneath. A dinette lies to port that converts to a double berth when the table is lowered. A lovely glass and drinks cabinet is mounted on the bulkhead behind, and a flat screen TV to the opposite locker. There is plenty of storage under the seating with a full length hanging locker for additional needs. All interior trim, including the curtains, have been renewed to a very high standard by Freeman trimmer Paul Carter, and all carpets have been replaced. Friday's Child has been updated with LED touch lighting in the cabin.
Opposite the hanging locker is the heads consisting of a Thetford Porta Potti cassette toilet.
The 975 cc Ford Watermota 105E engine has recently had a full service. The head has been skimmed and the valve seats and valves re-cut (points, distributor cap, plugs, ht leads, impeller, oil and filter). She has a new stainless wet exhaust fitting and exhaust hose as well as a new water pump. She benefits from 2 new batteries and all her electronics have been replaced.
Friday's Child comes complete with fenders (bought only last season), original mast, tonneau cover, navigation lights, and all accoutrements needed to head straight onto the waterways.
She is sold with a Boat Safety Scheme certificate valid until October 2025.
