The Friendship 28, designed by the esteemed naval architect Dick Koopmans Sr., stands as a hallmark of Dutch yacht building from the mid-1970s through the late 1980s. Produced by Jachtbouw Meijer in Balk, Netherlands, the model was conceived as a versatile family cruiser capable of navigating both the shallow inland waters of the IJsselmeer and the demanding conditions of the North Sea. With its balanced lines and robust GRP construction, the Friendship 28 became a foundational success for the brand, bridging the gap between the smaller day-sailing Friendship 22 and the more offshore-oriented Friendship 33. Its longevity in the European brokerage market is a testament to its construction quality and the enduring appeal of the Koopmans aesthetic, which favors seaworthiness and predictable handling over fleeting design trends.
