Broker's Comments

The Beneteau 'First' range provide sailing platforms known to be fast and responsive, including in light airs. Indeed, the current owner has successfully sailed her to the Netherlands and back, reporting the boat to comfortably handle 25-30 knot winds. The 26 provides comfortable accommodation for a crew of four, including a separate aft cabin, a separate heads, roomy galley and saloon. Out on deck there is plenty of room along the side decks and forward on the foredeck. The cockpit is roomy and has a safe feel, with access to sail controls led into the cockpit.

This version is well equipped for cruising and club racing and benefits from recent investment. On visiting the boat there is an impression of careful ownership and a tidy vessel, examples of which are highlighted throughout our listing here. The sale also comes complete with an inflatable tender from 2018. If you would like any further details, or to organise a personal viewing then please contact our office and we would be pleased to help.

These boat details are subject to contract.
