The Friendship 25 TS is a compact fractional sloop designed by Koos de Ridder and built by Friendship Yachts in 1984. With a displacement of 2866.0 lb and a comfort ratio of 12.16, this vessel represents a lightweight, performance-oriented approach to the 25-foot class.
- Best for:
- This boat is best suited for coastal cruising and daysailing, appealing to owners who prioritize sailing performance and ease of handling over heavy offshore provisioning.
- Bluewater capability:
- With a low displacement of 2866.0 lb and a capsize ratio of 2.31, the Friendship 25 TS is primarily a coastal cruiser rather than a dedicated bluewater passagemaker.
- Comparables:
- Comparable vessels include other late-1980s 25-foot fractional sloops with similar displacement and beam, such as the O'Day 25 or Pearson 25, though the Friendship 25 TS distinguishes itself with its specific Koos de Ridder hull form and lighter displacement.
