Details
A great chance to buy a genuine modern Racer Cruiser at a very attractive price.
Beneteau First Yachts have delivered above and beyond for their owners for over 30 years, and the new First 44 Performance is no exception.
The latest model in the Beneteau lineup, the First 44 has already had considerable success overseas, and this boat is proof why. An absolute joy to sail, her generous sail plan allows her to be easily driven, and the clever layout of her foam cockpit makes sailing either shorthanded or fully crewed extremely enjoyable. Lively and nimble, her twin rudders mean the helmsperson is always in control, and her spacious deck is both comfortable and practical.
Inside she offers an entirely modern experience. With her three cabin, two head layout, she is an extremely well thought out cruising boat, and her generous beam and hull windows make for a large, bright, welcoming space. Her quality finishes and materials create a refined atmosphere, and it's hard to believe such a well appointed boat can offer the sailing performance the First 44 delivers.
For those inclined to race, this boat is a turnkey offshore racer. Spec'd for the 2023 Transpac and Sydney to Hobart she has a high modulus carbon mast, bowsprit and spinnaker pole, a comprehensive North 3di sail inventory, upgraded B&G electronics, upgraded Harken winch package with hydraulic vang and backstay. Put simply, she needs nothing spent to start winning events. Her highly experience owner spared nothing in getting her to the start line, and she is absolutely crammed with upgraded electronics, a watermaker, and the best sail package available.
Just as easily sailed shorthanded as fully crewed, her ergonomic layout means all control lines can be led back to the helm station, making cruising two up easily achievable. With two forestays configurations and a Facnor Flatdeck furler you can easily put her into cruising mode and quickly and comfortably chew up the miles, launch your tender from the dinghy garage, and relax on the swim platform, totally at ease once you arrive.
Available to inspect on Sydney Harbour, please contact Flagstaff Marine for more information.
