Broker's Comments
This is a very sleek and imposing Beneteau First 42 that really catches your eye!
She's still a great looker and I reckon that she looks has that slippery look, offering a great performance, on top of the exceedingly roomy and well appointed interior - maybe perfect for longer passages and cruises?
Her upper deck is very well equipped, with large and plentiful fixtures and fittings, to ensure flexible and full-potential sailing - there's plenty of room too!
She has a good sized cockpit, with all the right controls close to the helm's hand, lines led aft and easy access to the upper deck. Some will want to talk about her upper deck teak.
Down below, large, light, bright and well appointed interior offers lots of flexible and enjoyable life afloat, potentially for extended periods - lots of room, some tasteful recent additions, sleeping for a large crew and lots of stowage really add to this boat's usability in many different ways - from long passages for a couple, to a group of friends or family, to a crew geared up for that long race!
She needs attention here and there, no doubt, but underneath it all, she seems like a really lovely dry, sweet smelling boat and I'd recommend an early viewing.
