The Friendship 22 is a quintessential Dutch pocket cruiser that bridged the gap between trailersailers and coastal yachts during the fiberglass boom of the late 1970s. Designed by the renowned naval architect Dick Koopmans Sr., the vessel was a runaway success for Jachtwerf Meijer in Balk, Netherlands. Its popularity was cemented following a glowing 1978 review in the German publication Die Yacht, which catalyzed a production surge resulting in nearly 80 hulls completed in a single year. The boat’s enduring appeal lies in its "big boat" feel within a compact 22foot frame, offering a blend of stability and functional living space that remains a benchmark in the European brokerage market. While the brand eventually expanded into larger yachts, the 22 remains the definitive entry point for sailors seeking Dutch build quality in a manageable size.
