Well-maintained Beneteau First 405 in good condition, ready to sail the same day.
A July 2025 survey confirms the vessel was in good condition and navigable at purchase, with no structural or standing rigging issues noted. All insurance requirements have been completed and the boat is currently insured.
The First 405 is a highly regarded racer-cruiser, known for its robust Beneteau construction, strong sailing performance, and excellent offshore manners. This boat features the tall rig mast and shoal draft keel, a sought-after configuration for ICW and Bahamas cruising.
The hull is dry and structurally sound, with clean bilges and an epoxy osmotic barrier in place. The original interior is clean, well preserved, and functional, offering a timeless layout appreciated by experienced sailors.
This is a sound, honest boat not a project well suited for cruising, liveaboard use, or performance-oriented sailing.
