Specifications
The Beneteau First 32 is a sailing yacht from 1984, built by the renowned French shipyard Beneteau. This model belongs to the "course-croisière" category, meaning the vessel is designed for both sporty performance and comfortable onboard living. With a length of 9.60 meters, a width of 3.36 meters, and a draft of 1.80 meters, this boat offers a balanced combination of stability, speed, and maneuverability. The hull is made of polyester and features a V-bottom, which contributes to seaworthiness and sailing behavior, especially on windward courses.
Interior and Living Space
Inside, the First 32 offers a headroom of 1.80 meters, providing a pleasant living space even for slightly taller crew members. The boat has two enclosed cabins and a spacious salon, with a total of six berths. Additional sleeping spaces are available in the salon, allowing the vessel to accommodate up to seven people. The salon features an extendable bench on the port side, which can be converted into a double bed. The chart table is spacious and offers ample storage for navigation charts and accessories. There are various storage options under the seats and in the cabins.
The galley is arranged in a practical L-shape and equipped with a two-burner gas stove with oven, a stainless steel sink, and a recently installed refrigerator (Hyckes, 2022) that operates on both 12V and 220V. The original refrigerator is currently used as extra storage space. The wet cell on the starboard side is equipped with a manual toilet with a new pump (2024), a washbasin, and various storage options. Behind the toilet is a separate closet for sailing clothing.
Engine and Technical Equipment
The Beneteau First 32 is equipped with a Yanmar 2YM15 inboard diesel engine from 2019 with a power of 18 hp. The engine has approximately 450 operating hours and is hand-started. The fuel consumption is about 2.2 liters per hour, with a diesel tank of 40 liters. The cruising speed is around 12 km/h, with a maximum speed of approximately 16 km/h. The boat is equipped with a fuel tank gauge and temperature gauge.
Electrically, the ship has two batteries with a total capacity of 220 Ah, powered via a battery charger and a Victron generator. The electrical system operates on both 12V and 220V. Navigation equipment includes an autopilot (Raymarine ST2000, 2021), depth meter, fishfinder, GPS, compass, log/speedometer, and a VHF radio.
Sailing Equipment
The sail plan consists of five sails, including a mainsail, genoa, and spinnaker. The mast is made of aluminum. The sails are functional and suitable for various wind conditions. The boat is equipped with an anchor with chain and line, renewed in 2022. There is no windlass present. Externally, the boat is equipped with fenders, lines, a deck cover, and outdoor cushions. A sunshade is included, ideal for shelter while anchoring or in the harbor.
Safety and Additional Equipment
In terms of safety, the boat is equipped with a lifebuoy, fire extinguisher, and an electric bilge pump. The toilet discharge is directly connected to the outside water. There is no bow thruster or heating present. The water tank has a capacity of 90 liters and was replaced in 2023.
History and Usage
The current owner is the third owner of the ship and has primarily used it for leisure sailing in Zeeland and along the Belgian coast over the past four years. The boat is registered under number BE404892. Documentation such as manuals, technical sheets, and recent purchase invoices (engine, toilet, water tank, etc.) are available.
The last time the boat was taken out of the water for maintenance and antifouling was in 2022. There are no signs of osmosis. The boat weighs approximately 3,800 kg.
The Beneteau First 32 is a sailing yacht suitable for both sporty sailing trips and relaxing weekend stays. Thanks to the combination of solid construction, practical layout, and recent technical updates, this vessel offers a versatile sailing experience. The boat is ready for use and provides space for families or sailors looking for an entry-level model in the category of performance-oriented cabin sailboats.
