The Beneteau First range built in the 80’s were a solid fast cruiser/racer with serious offshore capability in the right hands. “Apollon” is an excellent example and has recently been setup and upgraded for longterm family cruising but a change of plans means her current owners are moving back ashore and have created an excellent opportunity to buy a well sorted very capable sailing yacht at a very attractive price!
