Price reduced ...New boat ... Must sell
Beneteau First Class 8 - 1985
“A real little bombshell” according to the greatest champions who regularly practice...
This 8m monotype was designed for speed : maximum waterline length, ballast rake, lifting keel, large sail surface : all these elements make the First 8 a boat that is aimed at performance above all else!
This boat has been mosty cruised for the last 6 years and has been setup for shorthanded sailing. Loads of fixes and improvements. This boat needs no work and is ready to go.
Surveyed in 2020
“In conclusion, this vessel was considered cosmetically good and a fine example
of its class. The vessel has benefited from continued maintenance, navigational
instruments and new mast/rigging.”
