Specifications
This Beneteau First from 1979 is a polyester sailing yacht with a length of 9.35 meters and a width of 2.99 meters. With a draft of 1.80 meters and an air draft of 11 meters, the ship is suitable for both inland and coastal waters. The hull is built according to the round bilge principle, which contributes to the stability and seaworthiness of the yacht. Steering is done via a tiller in the open cockpit, with a single rudder.
Interior and Accommodation
Inside, the yacht offers a headroom of 2 meters, providing a comfortable living space. There are five fixed berths, divided between the cabin and the forepeak. The accommodation includes a dining area, mattresses, a refrigerator, an oven, and a stove. For sanitary facilities, there is a manual toilet connected to a 25-liter holding tank. The water tank has a capacity of 50 liters. Heating on board is provided by a heater, making it possible to stay on board even in colder seasons.
Engine and Technical Installation
The Beneteau First is equipped with a Yanmar inboard diesel engine of 16 hp, with two cylinders. The engine was replaced in 2018 and has a manufacturing year of 2000. The engine has approximately 5000 running hours and is started electrically. Fuel consumption is around 3 liters per hour, with a diesel tank of 50 liters. The cruising speed is about 12 km/h, with a maximum speed of 15 km/h. Various measuring instruments are available on board, including an oil pressure gauge, temperature gauge, and tachometer.
The electrical installation consists of two batteries, a battery charger, alternator, shore power connection, voltmeter, and solar panels. The voltage on board is 12v and 220v. There is also an electric and manual bilge pump available.
Navigation and Equipment
In terms of navigation, the ship is equipped with a wide range of equipment, including AIS, autopilot, depth sounder, GPS, compass, log/speedometer, VHF radio, and wind meter. This equipment makes the yacht suitable for longer trips and navigation on open water.
The sail plan is extensive and includes a mainsail, genoa, jib, storm jib, spinnaker, jib top, drifter, mizzen, and gennaker. The foresail is equipped with a furling system. The mast is made of aluminum, and there is one mast present. The condition of the sails is described as reasonable. On deck, there are two anchors with chain and line, operated with a manual windlass. The exterior equipment includes a sprayhood, deck cushions, cockpit table, fenders and lines, swim ladder, and guardrail.
Additional Equipment and Safety
A dinghy is available on board, of the brand Standard, with an outboard motor from Yamaha. For safety, there is a lifebuoy, a liferaft for six people, and a good anchoring system available. The boat is equipped with electric antifouling and solar panels, which contribute to ease of maintenance and energy supply on board.
Maintenance and Use
The last antifouling treatment took place in 2022. The boat was last taken out of the water for maintenance in 2025. No signs of osmosis have been detected. The boat is not registered, but all relevant documentation is available.
Sailing Experience and Use
The Beneteau First has been used for pleasure sailing on lakes, ponds, rivers, and seas. The owner describes the ship as a seaworthy and fast yacht. A memorable experience with this ship was a crossing of the North Sea from Zeeland to Scheveningen in a northwesterly wind force 6.
Conclusion
This Beneteau First from 1979 offers a combination of seaworthiness, extensive equipment, and functional living space. With its extensive sail plan, navigation equipment, and onboard facilities, the ship is suitable for both recreational use and longer trips on open water. The presence of solar panels, electric antifouling, and a dinghy with an outboard motor make the yacht versatile.
