Overview

About this vessel

The Beneteau First 47.7 is widely regarded as one of the finest yachts ever produced by Beneteau Yachts, and this example stands out as one of the best-kept and most thoughtfully upgraded examples we have encountered. Designed by Farr Yacht Design, her powerful hull form, deep performance keel and balanced rudder deliver exceptional speed and control. The triple-spreader race rig provides stiffness and drive, making her equally rewarding whether racing hard around the cans or enjoying a fast coastal passage.

Downstairs, Carla M impresses with a level of fit-out and joinery rarely seen in modern production yachts. The 3-cabin, 2-head owner's version is spacious, light-filled and exceptionally well ventilated via numerous opening hatches. Despite her racing pedigree, she offers genuine cruising comfort, with timberwork, upholstery and fittings all in excellent condition, showing only minimal and honest signs of use consistent with her age.

Based at the Cruising Yacht Club of Australia for most of her life, this vessel has benefited from continuous, knowledgeable ownership and a strong focus on performance and reliability.

A rare opportunity to acquire a genuinely competitive racer that also offers the volume, comfort and build quality for enjoyable cruising. She is turnkey, well-sorted, and ready to line up on the start line or head off on a fast coastal adventure. We look forward to welcoming you aboard.
