2003 Broadblue 38

S/V Friendship is a South of France based Broadblue 38 catamaran offered for sale by owner. Designed by Prout, this is a fast, responsive, category A offshore catamaran with blue water capability that sales well, even loaded for cruising. This catamaran has beautiful lines and is very well designed for family cruising. UK VAT PAID with all relevant documentation onboard.

We purchased her in January 2018 and have kept her in superb condition, this catamaran is a real find if you are in the market, don’t miss it! These rarely come on to the market, and in this condition, would appeal to anybody looking for a sub 40ft catamaran with the major benefits that it brings with reduced running and morning costs.

The saloon and cockpit both provide spacious comfort for 6 people, with all round visibility whether at sea or in the harbour. Handling in a seaway or confined marina is precise and passage planning always assumes 6 knots as an average cruising speed. She is an owners version with 3 cabins; 1 king size, 1 double and 1 3/4. The saloon has a drop down table with infill, which makes another double bed. Two head compartments with showers and 2 meter plus of headroom throughout the hulls.

Since being in the present ownership constant upgrades and improvements have regularly taken place. Friendship is ideally suited to a cruising or liveaboard couple or family. We have adapted her to be self sufficient and can spend weeks at anchor. The new solar panels (2019) keep the newly fitted (2020) lead carbon batteries fully charged, and this in turn powers the Katadyn 80e water maker.Recent Equipment Added & Upgrades
