Broker's Comments

This Beneteau First 28 is a very nice example it has clearly been looked after by the owners.
They offer good sailing performance as well as being stable sea worthy cruisers suitable for family cruising. They have a good sized cockpit with lines led aft for ease of handling; and inside there's plenty of space suitable for sleeping up to 6 people.
Viewings can be arranged in advance 6-days a week directly with the Boatshed Essex office.
