Broker's Comments
This is a fabulous example of the popular Beneteau First.
She has been extensively refurbished by her current owner and is a real credit to him. She presents as a much younger boat.
Her running and standing rigging has all been replaced over the last few years and a host of other modifications - LED lighting, diesel heating, new nav equipment and re-upholstered throughout.
She was out of the water last year for antifouling and new anodes.
Her engine looks immaculate and had a cylinder head refurb in 2020.
All in all, this is a beautiful boat and I can highly recommend taking a look.
