48' Beneteau First 47.7

This beautiful First 47.7 is like no others! She is the only model with a beautiful custom-made cockpit with twin carbon wheels and an extended lower aft cockpit. Cruising on this Yacht gives you the feeling of a confident sporty-looking Sailing vessel. On top of this Avalon has been undergoing a massive upgrade in 2022 and you will find everything you need for fast, safe, and comfortable blue water cruising. This Sailing Yacht is one of the most versatile vessels out there. She can compete in regattas and cruise in maximum comfort with full autonomy in energy and water. She is a winner in crossing rough seas passages while maintaining a very nice speed as well as good safety. With a beautiful, very recent teak deck and an extremely well kept wooden, luxurious, offshore friendly interior, she will make her next owner proud and satisfied.

I will happily provide maintenance logs with photos of many of the main upgrades as well as show the next owner everything there is to know about the yacht. As a professional Captain I can teach sailing or/and maintenance for free.
