This Friendship 28 from 1980 is a fiberglass sailing yacht measuring 8.70 meters in length, 2.85 meters in width, and a draft of 1.60 meters. It features a round bilge hull, a single tiller, and external steering. The boat is designed for comfortable sailing on inland waters, lakes, and the sea. Its dimensions offer a combination of maneuverability and interior space suitable for day trips, weekends, and longer vacations. According to the available information, the Friendship 28 is in reasonable condition. The buyer should take into account the points of attention associated with this boat. It is important to carefully review the description and thoroughly inspect the vessel during the viewing day. Friendship 28 now available in online auction. Everyone can bid until October 19, 2026. What is the layout on board? Inside, the boat offers a dining area, a refrigerator, and sleeping space for three people in fixed berths. With additional sleeping arrangements, it can accommodate up to five people. The standing height inside is approximately 1.85 meters. The interior cushions were replaced in 2017 and are reported by the seller to be in neat and clean condition. A Webasto heating system is present for warmth. Additionally, it features a compressor refrigerator. The toilet operates manually and discharges directly into open water. This is a point of consideration when assessing its use and desired cruising areas. What engine does the Friendship 28 have? The boat is equipped with an original BUKH DV10 diesel engine from 1980. This single-cylinder inboard engine delivers approximately 10 hp and starts electrically. The fuel tank has a capacity of about 40 liters. The engine is operational and includes an oil pressure gauge and temperature gauge. About seven years ago, the engine was overhauled, including replacement of the starter motor. At the end of last year, the impeller, diesel coarse filter, and engine zinc anode were replaced along with an oil change. The fixed propeller shaft is made of stainless steel and the boat has a two-blade fixed propeller. An additional folding propeller is available. However, there is a notable point of attention regarding the engine. The oil drain plug at the bottom of the engine still leaks a small amount of oil despite having replaced the washer. A drip tray has been secured under the plug. It may be possible to solve this issue with an appropriate original drain screw, but this has not yet been executed by the current owner. How is the electrical installation configured? The electrical installation was renewed around 2017. On board are a battery charger, alternator, voltmeter, and shore power connection. The boat has two batteries. For navigation purposes, there are a depth sounder and log with speedometer installed. Available documentation includes original BUKH reference works and technical drawings supplemented with documentation for the refrigerator, battery charger, and Webasto heater. What sails and deck equipment are present? The Friendship 28 features an aluminum mast and two sails: a mainsail and a jib. The mainsail was purchased around 2017 and is reported to be in good condition according to provided information. The roller jib is older but still usable. A roller system is available for the headsail. Additionally, there are an extra mainsail cover and roller jib cover from 2023. Outside you will find a cockpit table, swim ladder, fenders, and lines. There is also a bimini top present; however, it is older and not brand new. The owner has currently removed it for better visibility while sailing but will include it with the sale. One anchor with chain and line is available. What points of attention are there above deck and underwater? The boat has been continuously moored in water for about two years now; as such, there is growth present on the underwater hull. A few weeks prior to compiling this information some growth was scrubbed off from underwater surfaces. It remains operational but growth affects speed performance; the last antifouling treatment occurred in 2024 when it was also lifted out for maintenance. In heavy rainfall water may enter from above; suspected sources include cable penetrations at the mast on deck or from stanchion bases—exact locations have yet to be determined. The windows were re-sealed approximately one-and-a-half years ago and are described as watertight; additionally, some areas of aluminum rub rail are slightly detached from the hull. The wooden cockpit benches have been previously painted but require another coat; one bench needs repair at its hinge. What is this boat suitable for? This boat has been used for recreational sailing—day trips, weekends, and vacations on inland waters as well as lakes or sea voyages. The Friendship 28 is known for its sailing qualities while offering ample space for various cruising plans within its compact size range; it may appeal to someone seeking a classic sailboat willing to invest time into maintenance or improvement efforts. Those searching online for boats will find this model offers classic design paired with practical layout alongside functional diesel power options when considering second-hand purchases; potential buyers should not only evaluate equipment but also any upcoming maintenance needs as well—these tips remain relevant: during viewing day carefully inspect hull integrity along with engine compartment access points deck fittings rub rail conditions as well as wooden components’ status. When can you view her? The boat will be auctioned via Boatauction where there will be an open viewing day allowing you to assess her condition firsthand along with evaluating various components mentioned such as leakage issues growth presence oil around drain plug loose rub rail conditions or cockpit bench status during that opportunity.
