Friendship 28-II now available in online auction. Everyone can bid until August 24, 2026. Friendship 28 II comfortable cruising sailboat If you are looking for a pleasant sailing polyester yacht with a proven design, this Friendship 28 II is an attractive candidate on Boatauction. Built in 1991 by Meijer shipyard and designed by Dick Koopmans Sr., a name that evokes associations with thoughtful lines and excellent sailing characteristics among many sailors. The boat has always been based in Friesland and has been used as a true family boat for weekend getaways, vacations, and sporty sailing on inland waters, lakes, ponds, and rivers. That character is reflected in her layout and equipment: practical, comfortable, and focused on spending time together on board. With a length of 8.70 meters, a beam of 2.85 meters, and a draft of 1.20 meters, this Friendship 28 II is a manageable cruising yacht that also offers enough space for longer trips. Her V-shaped hull and single rudder, operated with a tiller from the cockpit, provide a direct and engaging steering feel. The air draft of approximately 12.50 meters makes her suitable for many Dutch sailing areas, while the self-draining cockpit contributes to the feeling of safety on deck. Friendship 28-II now available in online auction. Everyone can bid until August 24, 2026. How does this Friendship 28 II sail on inland waters and the IJsselmeer? She is known as a stable and calm sailor, even when the wind picks up. The design is made to sail well to windward and glide smoothly through the water without becoming uncomfortable for crew or family. With her mainsail and genoa, supplemented with a genoa reefing system, you can easily adjust the sail area to the conditions. The condition of the sails is described as reasonable, which fits with a boat that has been used for its intended purpose: sailing and creating memories. What is the comfort level on board and how many sleeping places are there? Inside, the boat offers a headroom of about 1.90 meters, making her notably comfortable in this length class. The accommodation includes a dining area, cooking stove, and mattresses, making her suitable as a cruising yacht for couples, families or friends. There are four fixed sleeping places plus two additional sleeping places possible, allowing flexibility when someone wants to join. For longer weekends, practical provisions have been considered: a water tank of 100 liters and a waste water tank of 75 liters. The manual toilet does not discharge directly into open water, which is an important point for many buyers when choosing a cabin sailboat.

She includes shore power (220V) and a 12V onboard system with battery charger, alternator, and voltmeter. There are two batteries present with a total capacity of 300 Ah, which is convenient for those who like to anchor out longer. For navigation and communication, there are depth sounder, compass, speed log meter, VHF radio, and wind meter on board. Heating is provided in the form of hot air heating which extends the season and noticeably increases comfort in spring and autumn. Outside she is designed to make life in the cockpit enjoyable.

Cleats and stern seats along with guardrails make it complete for those who like to moor neatly and step aboard comfortably. An anchor with chain and line is included. Additionally, various inventory items are provided which makes her particularly interesting as a complete cruising yacht for buyers eager to get out on the water quickly. What is known about maintenance and points of attention? According to reports, the boat is in reasonable condition.
