Description

Beautiful Friendship 33 with wing keel and scoop with wind vane now offered for sale. Very clean and tidy, cared for by true water sports enthusiasts, now for sale due to health reasons. Now a story about the wing keel: The wing keel was designed in 1983 for the Australian America's Cupper, which promptly won the cup with it! The design was attributed to the Dutchman Piet van Ossanen, although this is now being denied. The purpose of the wings is that a shallower keel can be used because the keel as a whole becomes more effective. The wings counteract the flow around the bottom of the keel, making it more effective (similar to wingtips or winglets at the ends of aircraft wings). When heeling, the leeward wing also extends deeper and starts working to limit leeway. A wing keel is in any case (at least originally) not intended to make it easier to dry out, although it may of course have that effect, but rather to sail better/faster within a certain rating. The Friendship 33 is a beloved Dutch sailing yacht, designed with a perfect balance between comfort, seaworthiness, and performance. This specific model is equipped with a wing keel, providing a lower center of gravity and better stability, without compromising on draft. This makes the yacht excellent for both the IJsselmeer and the Wadden Sea, as well as for open sea voyages. Design and construction: The classic lines of the Friendship 33 remain timelessly beautiful. The yacht is built with high-quality materials and a solid polyester hull. The wing keel provides extra lift in lighter winds and allows for navigation in shallower waters — a great advantage for those who enjoy varied sailing areas. Sailing characteristics: The Friendship 33 is known for its pleasant and reliable sailing characteristics. The yacht responds smoothly to the rudder, holds course well, and is easy to handle solo. Thanks to the balanced rig and wing keel, the ship is relatively fast, yet remains comfortable and safe — even in stronger winds. Interior: inside, the yacht is surprisingly spacious and bright. The warm wood finishing and practical layout make staying on board pleasant for longer trips. Equipped with 2 sleeping cabins + salon bench, spacious galley with stove, refrigerator, and sink, wet room with toilet and sink, and plenty of storage space and good ventilation. The Friendship 33 with wing keel is an excellent choice for sailors looking for a reliable, comfortable, and versatile yacht with pleasant sailing characteristics. Whether you prefer leisurely cruising or longer sailing trips, this ship offers security and sailing pleasure in all conditions. A versatile quality yacht of Dutch origin with an excellent price/quality ratio.
