Best Sailboat for Solo Sailing {Budget Liveaboard Cruiser} [Capable and Affordable 35' Ailboat]

TO WELCOME!!! On this in-depth and comprehensive boat tour of a beautiful 1987 S2 35C. /"Freda Kai/" is a central cockpit sloop rigged monohull sailing yacht. She has a draft of 6', a draft of 50', a beam of 12'6/" and a 29 hp Volvo engine. Sailing at an average speed of 5.9 knots. While sporting 720W of solar panels, it easily produces all its own electricity.

The S/V Freda Kai has been sailed solo and crewed by my good friend, mentor and boat buddy Jay Safro. This boat has been his home for eight years and more than 12,000 nautical miles. From this boat, Jay loves to explore and adventure wherever his anchor lies in the Caribbean. Choosing to spend most of that time at anchor rather than in a marina, as a true sailor should.

It is a humble and relatively affordable sailboat. But I think it's an advantage. Because unlike most catamarans and other larger vessels. Freda Kai is very affordable and its maintenance cost is very low. Allowing Jay to be able to sail and sail full time. Without worrying about breaking the bank. Earning money here and there when needed by working as an upholsterer on other boats, or doing fiberglass and any other work that might need to be done on a wide range of boats. Jay is truly a jack of all trades and has been a huge influence on my own sailing and cruising lifestyle over the past few years.

Jay plans to modify and add just a few systems to his boat. Mainly a watermaker. But overall this boat was and is a fully capable ocean cruiser. In the future, he plans to make more improvements and upgrades to this boat. Stay tuned to see what happens next! Additionally, Jay regularly hires a crew to join his sailing adventures.
