About this boat

Beneteau First 20 – Exceptionally Well-Kept, Lightly Sailed This Beneteau First 20 presents an excellent opportunity to own a remarkably clean and lightly used example of Beneteau’s popular modern daysailer. Privately owned, carefully maintained, and never raced, this boat has enjoyed an exceptionally easy life. Used primarily for light weekend sailing, she has always been kept at a private property dock and has never been pushed hard or sailed in poor weather. When the season ends, the boat is professionally hauled, stored, and winterized at the local yacht club, reflecting the level of care she has received throughout her ownership. The boat is powered by a Honda 5 HP long-shaft outboard with approximately 20 hours of use, providing reliable and economical auxiliary power. Below deck, the condition really reflects how little the boat has been used. The interior has never been slept in or used for overnighting, and even the portable toilet has never been used. For a First 20, where many examples have seen years of active sailing and racing, finding one with this kind of history is increasingly uncommon. Her sail inventory also includes a spinnaker that has never been used, giving the next owner an opportunity to enjoy more of the performance the First 20 was designed to deliver. Additional highlights include: • Never raced • Lightly sailed on weekends • Never sailed in bad weather • Kept at a private property dock during the season • Professionally stored and winterized at the local yacht club • Honda 6 HP long-shaft outboard – approximately 20 hours • VC17 bottom paint • Interior has never been slept in or used for overnighting • Portable toilet has never been used • Unused spinnaker • Cradle included and currently kept at the yacht club • No trailer The First 20 is well known for combining a responsive, enjoyable sailing experience with a simple and manageable package. Easy to handle with a small crew while still offering genuine performance, it makes an excellent boat for afternoon sailing, weekend cruising, or simply enjoying time on the water without the complexity of a larger yacht. For someone looking for a clean, lightly used and exceptionally well-cared-for First 20, this is a particularly attractive example with a history that will be difficult to duplicate.
