Bénéteau First 285 (zeilboot) - verkoop

Remarks :
The Beneteau First 285 was desgined by groupe Finot to be a cruiser that could compete in races. They are fast, comfortable and manouvreable giving you versatility in your sailing. The Winged keel is of relatively shallow draft and therefore those low water locations are not off limits. With 6 berths, ample headroom and a spacious layout the beneteau 285 was designed with comfort in mind. They are a robust and reliable yachts that can be sailed single handed or with a small crew.

'First Impulse' has been very well cared for by it's present owner and has undergone a major refit recently. She is a boat ready to be sailed away into the sunset with no more nagging issues to take care of. With c. £26k spent on her in the last 3 years alone she comes with recently replaced mast, boom, standing and running rigging, sails, canvass work, keel work, electrical work and replacement soft furnishings. This really is an opportunity to purchase a fully ready to sail yacht that has been refitted and modified to perfection by a very passionate owner.
