She comes with a massive sail locker, owner mentioned they are not quite race ready (aside from the Spinni and Asym).

There are:

3 main sails. The racing sail is in pretty good shape (made by White Sail). The cruising sail is in very good shape (made Kemp Sails a while back but barely used). Believe the other was made by McIntosh and is in pretty good shape (converted from bolt rope to slugs and replaced the foot so it's loose).
7 Genoas/Jibs/Headsails. Don’t get excited here, most of these are old and too big and I think were used before a furler was installed. The race genoa is in fair/good shape. It’s been repaired on the leech. Work done by Kemp. There’s another smaller sail that would be good for heavy wind and is in reasonable shape but has had some repairs.
3 downwind spinnis. One new made by Fareast Sails. This is a masthead spinni. Plus have two old spinnins that are for the fractional sheeve. One is heavier and in reasonable shape but old. The other is light and long in the tooth.
One A2 asym made by Incidence in excellent shape.

Broker's Comments

Here is a Beneteau First Class 10, she is a very sleek looking cruiser racer. For a performance yacht she manages to provide a good amount of space whether it be in the cockpit or inside for berths and cabins. She appears to have been well maintained and tidy.

Owner comments:
Since I've owned her, I've replaced the:

Mast (Z-Spars)
Boom (Z-Spars)
Standing rigging (work done by Tate Marine)
Running rigging
All new blocks (Lewmar HTX on all but 2 I believe)
New jib cars (Lewmar)
New main sheet traveller (Lewmar HTX)
New halyards and sheets (most in Marlow dyneema)
Spinnaker Pole (Selden)
Bowsprit (Selden)
Depth transducer
Speed transducer
Toilet

I also have a new downwind spinnaker made by Fareast and a barely used A2 asym made by Incidence.
She comes with a massive sail locker but I won’t say they are race ready (aside from the Spinni and Asym). There are:
3 main sails. The racing sail is in pretty good shape (made by White Sail). The cruising sail is in very good shape (made Kemp Sails a while back but barely used). Believe the other was made by McIntosh and is in pretty good shape (converted from bolt rope to slugs and replaced the foot so it's loose).

She has a Yanmar 20 that was just pulled, serviced, painted, and reinstalled.
The binnacle/wheel was a retrofit by a previous owner. All working fine.
Navigation is Garmin ecomap 50.
Instruments are Raymarine ST60 (wind not working)
