29.7' Beneteau First 29

Boat must go. Someone out there is going to get an incredible deal on a well-maintained F29. Price drop over $10K. Winter storage included.

Truly turnkey, she's not been neglected. Ready to race or cruise for some lucky sailor.

This guy called her "a gift" at $20K:

If you want to go sailing next season instead of slaving away fixing someone else's mistakes, this is the boat for you. Can show at your convenience Great Kills Harbor, Staten Island.

Details below:

This Beneteau has had all the heavy lifting done: all of the deck hardware is upgraded and rebedded, the old, crazed, leaking portlights all replaced with new lexan, all the brightwork topsides entirely replaced by a professional there is not a single leak belowdecks.

Electrical system rewired including up the mast and upgraded with bluetooth Victron MPPT solar controller, DC-DC charger, and the biggest Phoenix inverter they make. The plumbing is redone with the awful marine head gone in favor of a composting head (no, doesn't smell) and fresh/salt water system with a cockpit washdown.

She is a fast boat. Has a Quantum kevlar/carbon suit of sails (main, 3 headsails) along with a two reef dacron cruising main. Double track headsail foil. Spinnaker and cruising chute. All the sail controls you need to shape things up for a win. Hard ablative bottom lovingly faired season after season--not just slapping another coat of chalky blue garbage on top of the old.
