The Beneteau First 45F5 from 1991 is a fast, responsive sailing yacht designed for sailors who appreciate both performance and comfort. Built with racing in mind, she comes with an extensive sail wardrobe, including well-maintained spinnakers, jibs, and a carbon racing sail, making her equally suited for regattas or fast cruising passages. Recent upgrades to the rigging, including a new forestay and Furlex furling system, enhance both safety and ease of handling.
Inside, the yacht offers a practical and welcoming layout with three cabins and two heads, providing comfort for family cruising or a small crew. The galley is fully equipped for extended stays onboard, and generous freshwater capacity supports autonomy at sea.
Under power, the reliable Perkins 80TD engine with shaft drive ensures dependable performance. A full suite of navigation instruments, safety equipment, and onboard systems makes the yacht ready to sail without additional investment.
Finished with classic teak decking and cockpit, she combines timeless style with serious sailing capability. The owner is also open to considering an exchange for a smaller yacht in the 33-38 foot range, provided it is in good condition.
