The Friendship 26 is a 26.57ft fractional sloop designed by Jac. de Ridder and built in fiberglass by Friendship Yachts (NL) since 1978.
The Friendship 26 is a moderate weight sailboat which is a reasonably good performer. It is very stable / stiff and has a low righting capability if capsized. It is best suited as a day-boat. The fuel capacity is originally very small. There is a very short water supply range.
