Beneteau First 210 Spirit

The Beneteau First 210 is a highly regarded trailerable pocket cruiser-race. She weighs around 1010kg and features a ballasted swing keel, twin rudders, and a surprisingly roomy 4-berth interior. Praised for dinghy-like agility and stability, it is an ideal entry-level boat which is great fun to sail. She is rigged as a Bermudan sloop with a deck stepped mast. The mast and the standing rigging (stainless wire) were new in 2015.

The foresail is on a roller reefer, the mainsail slab reefs and furls into a lazy jack bag. She is rigged for a spinnaker. Her pivoting swing keel adjusts draft from 0.70m to 1.80m, making it perfect for shallow water or trailering. The twin rudders provide excellent control, even when heeled. The open-plan layout eliminates a traditional fixed bulkhead to maximize the perception of space.

It features a double V-berth forward and two settee/quarter berths aft, comfortably accommodating two adults or a small family for weekend camp-cruising. Two years ago she was fitted with an E propulsion Spirit 1 electric outboard with remote controls. The cabin head liners were replaced this year. There is a 2 wheel trailer that needs some attention which has been used as a yard trailer with potential to return to road use.

There is a tender, a Suzimar dingy with a 2.2 Suzuki outboard. She has navigation lights which, at the moment, do not work.
