Broker's Comments
This fine Beneteau first 285 is a very good example of a popular and well respected sailing yacht capable of coastal cruising with ample cockpit space, complimented by her spacious interior for a yacht of just under 29ft.
Built as a six berth, she is very well suited as four + 2 children. This fin keel version offers the opportunity to explore those areas which may preclude a fin keel version.
She has been well looked after by her present owner.
