Brokers Comments:
In our opinion, this Beneteau First 27.7 S is a very flexible and desirable boat and with her new standing rigging, new anti-foul and anodes has a lot to offer. With her generous cockpit space & comfortable accommodation she offers a huge amount for a boat of this size. This particular yacht is fitted with a Yanmar 2Y15, 15HP diesel engine and with her slab reefing mainsail, furling Genoa, Lazy Jacks & Stack Pack, everything is controlled from the cockpit & she is therefore easy to sail. Down below, there is comfortable sleeping for 6, with a forward double berth, spacious saloon with folding dining table, small galley with two burner cooker & sink as well as a good sized, separate heads with toilet & sink. Once back on deck, her generous cockpit has room for all the Crew & has non slip decking for safety. Furthermore, the boat has a very attractive pale grey hull so stands out from the crowd.
With her sporty design and efficient layout, this Jean Marie Finot designed Beneteau First 27.7, offers everything you could need for fun sailing around coastal waters or a race across the Channel. She is currently lying ashore in Southampton & viewing can be arranged through Aspire Boat Sales.
