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. All opening hatches have fitted Gebo fly screens.
Owners Hull Dedicated Webasto heating system, privacy door, king size bed, desk, book shelves and wardrobe. All located aft, with a private heads forward, leading through to a storage compartment with watermaker, watermaker filters, sea cocks, sail storage area, toilet waste tank and a newly installed (2020) 4kg fully plumbed in automatic machine and separate watertight compartment. The heads is generous in size and consists of electric toilet, wash basin and shower area. The midships section has wardrobe and multiple storage compartments, engine and spares area, plus drinks cabinet and bar area and underfloor dry storage.
Starboard Hull This hull also has a dedicated Webasto heating, one double aft cabin with wardrobe, desk and storage, and a forward 3/4 cabin with huge storage lockers underneath and large larder/cool store and storage cupboards.

Multiple storage cupboards below. All worksurfaces, including sinks are finished in a solid corian type material.
Saloon With maple interior finish. Excellent vision available with Skysol pleated white blinds to all windows. Wide saloon with curved settee, upholstered in pale cream Alcantara, with addition protective seat covers. Built in stowage beneath all seats. Navigation table with seat, instrument panel includes Raymarine RL80c plotter and radar, Standard Horizon AIS/GPS radio, Kenwood car stereo/cd player. Skydome ceiling viewing panel at companion way. Two Hella fans. Omnidirectional TV aerial, TV point and 12v AVTEX 21.5” digital TV. 240v socket powered by Stirling inverter and multiple UK style sockets throughout the boat.
Cockpit Self draining cockpit provides additional living space, with removable folding wooden cockpit table and large full size spray hood, that encompasses all of the cockpit area. Spray hood features vision panels that can be rolled up independently. Full navy blue wrap around cockpit cushions covered in acrylic. Two new (2020) COMFORTseats also included. Large storage locker in cockpit floor and separate battery storage locker. Steering station on starboard side, with navigation dash windlass controls and helm seat. All sail controls, including reefing, are operated from the safety of the cockpit, so no requirement to leave cockpit at sea. Direct access to water port side with deck shower and stainless steel bathing ladder. Substantial Simpson 150 davit launch system with seaway strengthening.
Deck Webbing style safety lines port, starboard and forward across decks. Two large storage lockers either side, used as fender and warp storage, and three bottle gas locker. All windows are tinted and have fully fitted Phifertex shades/covers including all hatches and solid sunbrella interchangeable covers.
Rudders are skeg hung on stainless steel stocks with self lubricating bearings. The steering system is hydraulic with the rudders linked together with a cross beam. The hydraulic arm is attached directly to the rudder shaft. Access to an emergency tiller is on the starboard side steps.
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

The theoretical maximum speed that a displacement hull can move efficiently through the water is determined by it's waterline length and displacement. It may be unable to reach this speed if the boat is underpowered or heavily loaded, though it may exceed this speed given enough power. Read more.
Classic hull speed formula:
Hull Speed = 1.34 x √LWL
A more accurate formula devised by Dave Gerr in The Propeller Handbook replaces the Speed/Length ratio constant of 1.34 with a calculation based on the Displacement/Length ratio.
Max Speed/Length ratio = 8.26 ÷ Displacement/Length ratio.311
Hull Speed = Max Speed/Length ratio x √LWL
A measure of the power of the sails relative to the weight of the boat. The higher the number, the higher the performance, but the harder the boat will be to handle. This ratio is a "non-dimensional" value that facilitates comparisons between boats of different types and sizes. Read more.
SA/D = SA ÷ (D ÷ 64)2/3
A measure of the stability of a boat's hull that suggests how well a monohull will stand up to its sails. The ballast displacement ratio indicates how much of the weight of a boat is placed for maximum stability against capsizing and is an indicator of stiffness and resistance to capsize.
Ballast / Displacement * 100
A measure of the weight of the boat relative to it's length at the waterline. The higher a boat’s D/L ratio, the more easily it will carry a load and the more comfortable its motion will be. The lower a boat's ratio is, the less power it takes to drive the boat to its nominal hull speed or beyond. Read more.
D/L = (D ÷ 2240) ÷ (0.01 x LWL)³
This ratio assess how quickly and abruptly a boat’s hull reacts to waves in a significant seaway, these being the elements of a boat’s motion most likely to cause seasickness. Read more.
Comfort ratio = D ÷ (.65 x (.7 LWL + .3 LOA) x Beam1.33)
This formula attempts to indicate whether a given boat might be too wide and light to readily right itself after being overturned in extreme conditions. Read more.
CSV = Beam ÷ ³√(D / 64)
