1984 Beneteau First 456, USD 59 000,-

Boat Overview
Nui was built in 1984 when they still built really strong and durable yet fast boats. The designer German Frers is famous for being able to design fast boats that perform well yet are of medium displacement.
This Beneteau First 456 is such a boat and is remarkably similar to the Swan 48 and Grand Soleil 46 in hull profile.
Nui is a very capable vessel that can take you on offshore passages safely and comfortably at high average speeds.
She comes fitted with solar panels and a watermaker so no need to carry a lot of water.
The 45 cabin layout allows for nice privacy aboard, great for families or guests.
The seller is a marine engineer on super yachts and has fitted a nice reliable Volkswagen marinised diesel, capable of pushing her along nicely under power, driven by a bronze Max prop folding 3 blade.
She also has a workshop with workbench and lots of spare parts and tools.
She comes with a good set of sails with lots of life still in them.
She carries a powerful rig capable of driving her nicely and her super hull design allows for good pointing upwind and fast reaching and running.
The autopilot can handle self steering her well.
So if you are looking for a good sized very strong and fast sailing vessel that can carry you cruising across oceans or even race competitively, this is for you.
The seller sailed her easily with just his wife and two small children for many miles so she does not need a big crew to handle her.
