1985 Beneteau First 345

Olympia, Washington, United States

$44,500

This is an excellent opportunity to purchase a pedigreed racer/cruiser from Beneteau. She is the First 345, from designer Jean Berret. Over 450 of the 345's were produced in the mid 1980's and were quickly embraced by owners who preferred a more capable racing boat than the cruisers from the worldwide leader in boatbuilding.

This is a quality built performance cruiser. This boat is an excellent sailing vessel capable of winning races and perfect for cruising the Puget Sound, San Juan Islands, and beyond. The interior is well lit and features beautiful carpentry. Many serious upgrades have been made over the years in addition to maintenance.
