The Beneteau First 456 is a 46.6-foot fiberglass sloop from 1983, built around a design that combines classic proportions with practical cruising capability. The monohull's sleek profile balances aesthetic refinement with sailing efficiency, offering the kind of responsive handling that defined Beneteau's reputation during this period.
The boat's layout provides generous accommodation for extended time aboard, with thoughtful spacing that supports both relaxed cruising and active sailing. A windlass is fitted for anchor handling, a practical feature that eases the day-to-day demands of anchoring and retrieval.
Constructed from fiberglass, the hull has proven durability across decades of use, and the boat remains suited to cruising adventures in varied conditions.
