Friday is a beautifully presented example of the Southern Wind 100 miniseries with sleek and sporty ‘Raised Saloon’ deck configuration.  She was designed and built to meet two important objectives for her owner, long-range comfortable cruising with his family and competitive super yacht racing with his friends. Over the past decade, she has successfully accomplished these objectives while cruising between the Mediterranean and Caribbean and when competing in major events such as the St. Barth’s Bucket and Southern Wind Trophy.

Friday features a spacious four-guest cabin arrangement with master cabin forward and crew quarters aft.  On deck, she features a large center cockpit with adjacent sun-lounging area where guests may relax and take meals in comfort and security.  The aft cockpit is dedicated to sailing and navigation, providing direct access to the crew cabin, nav station and galley.

Always subject to a rigorous maintenance program, here is a summary of recent major works:
