Beneteau First 28

First 28 GTE (sloop) – 1981

The current owner purchased it in 2023 and has undertaken several works with a view to a racing/cruising program. The evolution of his project now requires him to sell it.

This is a healthy boat, well maintained and regularly upgraded, ready to sail.

The First 28 is a boat renowned for its seafaring qualities: fast, balanced, and tolerant. It offers excellent sailing sensations, with an effective close-hauled speed of around 5–6 knots, while remaining accessible. Ideal for dynamic cruising as well as local regattas on a controlled budget.
