Chesapeake Bay Sailing on a Chesapeake Sail Club Yacht
Ula
‘Jewel of the Sea’
“Ula” is a 1990 Freedom 32 designed by Gary Mull and built by Tillotson-Pearson for Freedom Yachts in Rhode Island. Freedom Yachts are noted for their ease of handling, turn of speed, self tacking jib, freestanding carbon fiber mast and high quality build.
We have been searching for a good club yacht and when we saw this Freedom, we knew we had found her. “Ula” is a celtic name meaning ‘Jewel of the Sea’ and that she is.
“It is possible to go very fast, indeed, even without crew or complication, if you have a boat that is designed for the purpose.” (Garry Hoyt in Practical Sailor).
