Beneteau Firstrevised price £29,950only due to the vendor's very sad health circumstance.
The Beneteau First Series from the mid 1980’s designed by German Frers were arguably some of the finest yachts built by Beneteau from this era. They were intended to compete directly with Nautor Swan's line of German Frers designed models. As such, they are fast, stiff and share many quality construction details and styling features with the Swans, not found in other Beneteau Series.
With her Frers designed hull, and a powerful triple-spreader rig, she makes a fantastic fast cruising yacht!
This example has been in the current ownership for nearly 10 years, and in that time they have cruised extensively between Norway and the western Mediterranean.
Upgrades over recent years have included a new retractable bow thruster, an electric halyard winch, a new anchor windlass, a Garmin chart plotter/radar unit, and much more.
The revised price - down from an original price of £65,000 - reflects one of the current owner's very sad and pressing health circumstance.
There's a lot of boat here in which to go swift, long distance cruising and for not much money!

'Bellone' has been in the current ownership for nearly 10 years, and in that time the owners have cruised extensively between Norway and the western Mediterranean. They are now increasingly in need of medical assistance and the time has come to move back on to dry land and 'hang up the sailing boots'.
Upgrades over recent years have included a new retractable bow thruster, an electric halyard winch, a new anchor windlass, a Garmin chart plotter/radar unit, and much more.
There's a lot of boat on offer here in which to go long distance cruising at a good pace for not too much money!
