Broker's Comments
The Beneteau First 260 Spirit is a stylish modern cruiser designed to offer a combination of good accommodation and sailing performance, which is also simple to sail. All lines are controlled from the safety and comfort of the cockpit, making this boat ideal for both singlehanded and family sailing. There is plenty of room on deck, with generous side decks, a roomy cockpit and foredeck area. The lifting keel has the benefit of opening-up shallow water use, alongside more extended coastal sailing when down. The inboard diesel provides plenty of power when needed and there is the option of a folding, two bladed propellor.
The interior is bright and airy with a contemporary design. There is a separate, galley, navigation station, heads and forward cabin and the boat makes use of space saving, sliding doors. Overall the interior is spacious and sociable, which is perfect for time enteratining or relaxing after a day's sail. This boat has lots to offer sailing entusiasts and we would be pleased to show you round.
Please note that the owner would consider part exchange for a small, power driven vessel.
