Beneteau First 28 for sale in Burnham-on-Crouch, United Kingdom

'Selkie' is a lifting keel version of the First 28, which reduces her draft to 1.1m, making her ideal for exploring the East Coast. She had a new engine fitted in 2001, but has not been used in recent years, so is in need of some re-commissioning and general servicing to get her back in to commission. Viewing by appointment only through our Essex office.
