Description
 


Yellow hulled Beneteau First 211 called Sunrise. Built 2000, Comes with a recently serviced 4 wheel braked road trailer. New rigging fitted 2016, a new stack pack/lazy jacks and the sails have been serviced.The superb Yamaha 8hp engine has also been fully serviced at our local Yamaha dealer. Currently sitting on a swinging mooring in Falmouth, Cornwall It comes complete with 1 Main sail, 2 Genoas, and a Spinnaker. Sunrise has the advantage of being fitted with the factory mast raising and lowering kit, which makes it a very practical and true trailer sailer.  Two people can easily raise and lower the mast. With its deep/long wind up swing keel, it sails like a much larger boat, with excellent performance both on and off the wind. It is a true 4 berth, with double berth fore peak and 2 long side berths. It has tinted wash boards, teak toe rail and teak cockpit seating bases.There are a few marks and a couple of areas of crazing on the hull, but she is very sound and in excellent condition.    Designed by Groupe Finot, the Beneteau First 211 is a small high performance yacht designed to be simple to sail, and able to take the ground or be trailed. The words 'pocket rockets' tend to be used to describe these boats!  The hull of the Beneteau First 211 is solid GRP, with sandwich construction for the deck moulding. There is foam buoyancy at bow and stern, guaranteeing unsinkability. The ballasted drop keel is raised by by a manual jack, and allows easy transport of the boat as well as drying out if required, supported level by the twin rudders.
 
The sail plan has a non-overlapping jib to keep sheet loads down, and a large spinnaker to achieve high speeds downwind. With almost 6 ft draught with the keel down, and twin rudders for control, upwind performance is also excellent.
An ultra-modern small fast cruiser/racer - in style very much a miniaturised Open 60, the Beneteau First 211 offers very high sailing performance for her size, plus simple accommodation for up to four. The boat is very much dinghy-style to sail, although the keel does make her self-righting, and foam buoyancy renders her unsinkable. .
The cabin of the Beneteau First 211 has four berths, with a vee-double forward, and two quarter berths aft. Amidships, either side of the drop keel mechanism structure, is a simple galley, with Calor gas ring and sink with pumped water. The accommodation is very simple, but nicely finished. A chemical toilet sits under the fore peak Vee berth.
