1993 Beneteau First 38s5 "That's Not Ideal" Disponible

1993 Beneteau First 38S5

Designed by Jean Berret with a striking Philippe Starck interior, the Beneteau First 38S5 is widely regarded as one of the finest performance cruisers of its era. Combining responsive sailing performance with comfortable accommodations, this proven design is equally at home coastal cruising, offshore passagemaking, or club racing.

Her easy single-handed sail handling, with all control lines led aft to the cockpit, makes sailing simple and efficient whether underway with family or short-handed.

This 1993 Beneteau First 38S5 has benefited from numerous upgrades and thoughtful owner improvements, including updated sails, inspected rod rigging, modern electronics, a Westerbeke W30 diesel engine, and extensive cruising equipment.
