Beneteau First 35.7 Overview
This Beneteau First 35.7 for sale is a fast and rewarding performance cruiser designed by Berret-Racoupeau Yacht Design, featuring a distinctive interior by renowned French designer Philippe Starck. Combining excellent sailing performance with comfortable accommodation, the First 35.7 is equally at home cruising as she is competing around the cans.
This 1994 example has benefitted from extensive upgrading in recent years with significant investment in her rigging, sail handling systems, heating, electrical system and mechanical equipment. Highlights a Darglow three-bladed feathering propeller (2023), Eberspächer diesel heating (2023), upgraded reefing systems and a comprehensive sail wardrobe. Finished with Coppercoat over an epoxy barrier coat, she presents an excellent opportunity to purchase a capable cruiser that is ready to sail away.
