Broker's Comments
Boatshed Southampton are pleased to market this Beneteau First 305 from 1998. A great cruiser racer that benefits from many upgrades by the present owner.
This one has had almost £24,000 spent on her in the last few years alone.
This yacht is well designed down below, with two cabins and a roomy saloon. The galley is well designed and easy to use, and she has a proper, good sized forward facing chart table.
A good all rounder, ideal for cruising and racing with plenty of accommodation and a lot of space for her size.
