Beneteau First 325

Built by Beneteau, one of the the largest European boat builders, the Beneteau First 325 is one of their most popular designs. Uncomplicated and simple to sail, they are easy to handle and perfect for short handed sailing. Having only had 2 owners from new, the current owner is a retired boat builder, who, as can be seen by the condition, has taken good care of her.

Boasting a large comfortable cockpit, all lines are led back to ease trimming and adjustment safely. A large spray hood with grab rails was fitted last year and provides good shelter in adverse conditions. There is a new main sail. Swashbuckler has been very well maintained and has had a lot of recent upgrades over the last few years. They include changing the standing and running rigging in 2020, a new prop shaft in 2022.

The cutlass bearing was replaced along with a Volvo seal and a 3 bladed propeller fitted. The rear engine mountings were also changed. A new GPS with speed interface was added and a new radio fitted. The anti fouling was completely stripped in 2024 and reapplied. If you are searching for a boat in which you can go sailing immediately , with no work to do, dont miss out on this one!!!!
