BENETEAU FIRST 345

A stainless steel and teak bathing platform allows good access for swimming or entering the cockpit. Tiller steering gives a responsive feel to the helm without taking as much room in the cockpit as a wheel. Top quality hardware on deck such as the Anderson winches, lazyjack system for the mainsail and recent electric anchor windlass.

Descending the companionway steps there is a chart table and nav area to starboard with a new electrical control panel complete with DSC VHF plus emergency battery and charger and new EPIRB . The galley is opposite to port and boasts a new Plastimo cooker and new fridge.

There are two double aft cabins with hanging lockers. The main saloon has seating around the saloon table to port with a straight settee to starboard giving easy access forward to the heads/shower compartment across the width of the boat. Forward of this is a further double cabin.

Much money spent on this yacht and with many recent updates of practical equipment make her good value for money.
