Beneteau First 40.7

Just Arrived - This Beneteau First 40.7 cruiser 67, currently ashore at Conwy Marina, is offered for sale and available for viewing by appointment. Previously operated as an RYA sailing school vessel, she has benefited from regular professional maintenance throughout her working life. As expected of a training yacht, she shows signs of minor cosmetic wear and tear; however, this is reflected in her presentation and offers an excellent opportunity for a new owner seeking a proven, capable platform. Renowned for her balance of performance and cruising comfort, the First 40.7 remains a highly respected design, equally suited to club racing, fast cruising, or further training use. With a good level of inventory already in place, this yacht represents a practical and cost-effective entry into the popular cruiser 67racer market.
