Freedom Yachts was founded by Gary Hoyt in 1976 when he launched the Freedom 40. The reasoning behind the name was that his boats were built with unstayed rigs, so the mast was freestanding, and not supported by standing rigging. All Freedom yachts were built by Pearson Boats, a company that built boats in fiberglass.
In 1985, Hoyt sold Freedom Yachts to Tillotson-Pearson after having some slow years. In the earlier years, Freedom commissioned designs from the designers from the Herreshoff design offices, and later even the well-known Ron Holland.
