Beneteau First 345 Sailing Yacht For SaleThe Beneteau First 345 comes from an era when production boats where still being designed with sailing in mind, and therefore goes very well in both light and heavy conditions. She is very much a racer cruiser, preferred by many for her sailing agility, with tiller steering giving a responsive feel to the helm. Down below is light, airy and spacious with this being a 3 cabin version. Recent upgrades include: new standing rigging, ground tackle, autohelm, fresh water tanks and pipes. Two years ago my wife and I quit our jobs, bought a boat in The Mediterranean and went sailing! Since then we have sailed over 6000 miles in "Calaban", from Greece and Turkey, all the way through the Med, up the coast of Portugal and across the Bay of Biscay to Falmouth, Cornwall - where the boat is now situated. Throughout this time we have been continually sailing and living on the boat, therefore everything has had to be kept in a working and good condition. Unfortunately, due to work commitments away from the coast and future impending family commitments, we are having to sell our beloved home. We hope we can find someone who will get as much enjoyment out of her as we have.Offers around the asking price will be considered.
