Beneteau First 28

First 28 GTE (sloop) – 1981

The current owner purchased in 2023 and has undertaken several works with the aim of a fast racing/cruising program. The evolution of his project now requires him to part with the boat.

This is a healthy, well-maintained boat that has been regularly improved and is ready to sail.

The First 28 is a sailboat known for its marine qualities: fast, balanced, and forgiving. It offers excellent sailing sensations, with an upwind speed of around 5–6 knots, while remaining accessible. Ideal for dynamic cruising as well as for local regattas on a controlled budget.
