28.5' Beneteau First 285

There is still plenty of summer left! This is the perfect time to enjoy the remainder of the boating season in style! Up for sale is Oneday, a Beneteau First 285 built in 1989. The Beneteau First 285 is a racer/cruiser, wing keel and fractional rig sloop. Perfect for a small family. Located presently near the Scarborough Bluffs, near downtown Toronto.

This 100% fresh water Beneteau 285 has been well cared for and lightly cruised on Lake Ontario. She is in excellent condition with many upgrades and has been covered and winterized for the off-season yearly. The engine has been serviced regularly.

A well designed 2 sleeping berths (one aft cabin and one forward V-berth) has great headroom of over 6 feet. There is a large bar fridge and freezer (AC power) which can be run off the inverter while underway to keep all your beverages nice and cold! A major upgrade to this boat is the new complete cockpit enclosure which helps to add to the space and truly extends your sailing season! The Dickson propane heater also allows warmth during some of the cooler months in the spring and fall months. There has also been a new engine repower (a 30 hp Yanmar Diesel) in 2013. Regular engine maintenance has been completed yearly.

This is a fun boat that can easily be sailed single-handed but has the cruising comforts for some longer trips around the lake with family and friends. This Beneteau is in the water near the Scarborough Bluffs and is in sail away condition to enjoy. Price: $35,000 CAD ($28000 USD)
