Description

Offers invited!! A lovely Beneteau First 285 for sale that the current owner has had for over 20 years, being only the third owner from new. We can see from the history that the service and maintenance over the past 20 years has been done professionally, which is a testament to its nice condition. Fitted with the Yanmar 2GM inboard diesel engine to make any trip possible when the wind fails to show, and a Selden furling Genoa for when the wind does show up. That, coupled with the lifting keel and twin rudders, this Beneteau First 285 makes for a lovely sailing vessel.

  • Original Beneteau owner’s manual
  • Original Beneteau Warranty Certificate
  • Full history of previous owners from new
  • Current owners’ Bill of Sale
  • Small ships register history
