Friendship 40, Hull No. 18

Absolute unrivaled quality is synonymous with the Friendship Yacht Company. Incorporating many elements from his large custom yachts, designer Ted Fontaine has created the FRIENDSHIP 40, a luxury daysailer whose concept has been imitated, but by no means equaled. Uniquely customized and exquisitely appointed, the Friendship 40 uses push-button sailing, all handled by one person.  The size of the cockpit, normally found on a much larger yacht, creates the perfect venue for a cocktail cruise for 10 guests.   The sailing version of a luxury picnic boat, MAHALIA brings a new sense of ease to a day at sea with unmatched elegance and style.

MAHALIA’s elegantly crafted interior boasts glossy-varnished, raised-panel teak joinery, a tongue and groove ceiling with a satin painted finish, comfortable settees, a functional galley and full standing 6’4” headroom. She maintains an impressive spaciousness for a boat of her size. With an abundance of storage, galley amenities, custom dish locker and a pull-out trash bin, MAHALIA is the perfect venue for sunset cocktails or long weekend excursions.  Share drinks at the drop leaf table, refresh yourself with a shower in the fully appointed head and get a good night’s sleep in the large double centerline berth.

MAHALIA has been described as the perfect boat for “8 to sail; 6 to eat; 2 to sleep.” While MAHALIA is intended to accommodate a couple for an overnight, the settees are long and wide to sleep additional friends or family. There is an interior/exterior audio system with sat radio and iPod hook up. The galley incorporates a deep refrigerator, microwave, and Keurig one-cup coffee and tea brewer. The head features fresh water, electric flushing head, shower, and teak framed mirror.

More than a day boat, Friendship 40 marries a classically sculpted profile with a highperformance shoal draft underbody. Her spacious, ergonomically perfect cockpit is surrounded by a wide teak coaming, framing an expansive seating area unrivaled in her class. The low-profile cabin top provides a full 360-degree sightline, which enables a clear view from her bow to her stern. 

Wide side decks and spacious fore and aft decks give MAHALIA a feeling of a much
larger boat than a 40.

MAHALIA’S cockpit features a Garmin 5208 touch screen color chart plotter with radar overlay (mounted at helm in a custom stainless-steel housing), Simrad auto pilot, two recessed B&G full function displays and two additional B&G analog displays. The GPS unit has satellite weather, radio, iPod, and can take 3D G2 chart cards. On either side of the wheel are control buttons for the electric jib furler, and at the helmsman’s feet are foot buttons for the bow thruster and mainsheet trim. Helm station also has recessed mounts for engine panels, hydraulic panel, auto pilot control, and wired remote for stereo system. The drop leaf table houses storage compartments, glass and wine bottle holders, and an insulated compartment for cold drinks. MAHALIA is one of three Friendship 40’s to have removable lifelines installed, with boarding gates on both port and starboard sides.

The hydraulic mainsheet system of the Friendship 40, controlled by two-foot buttons at the helm, brings new levels of ease to sailing. All sail handling is done using push buttons located within finger’s reach from the helm seat. A Reckman electric headsail furler effortlessly controls the jib using two-foot buttons at either side of the helm. The bow thruster is also controlled by two-foot buttons located at the base of the wheel.

The two secondary winches on the house top provide push button control of centerboard control, spinnaker halyard, back-up main halyard and preventer. All lines have flush, stainless steel lined bins for clutter-free storage. All four deck winches are stainless steel Lewmar two-speed electric. 

The foredeck houses two flush lockers – to port is the swing out anchor system with Lewmar electric windlass and salt water wash down, to starboard is the chain locker with storage for swim ladder and dinghy outboard motor. The custom chocks in the caprail are larger on the foredeck than those aft to accommodate large mooring lines, and the cleats are flush to the deck when not in use. On centerline is an additional, extra strength pop-up padeye for hurricane tie down.

Aft deck – huge lazarette for storing fenders and dock lines, custom flag socket with bracket for propane grill, stainless steel hydraulic backstay, and flush plate access to fresh water hot/cold deck shower.
