1985 Beneteau First 38.5

This 1985 Beneteau First 38.5 is a three-cabin, two-head cruising sailboat with a fiberglass hull and a 45-horsepower Perkins diesel engine. The boat has seen significant upgrades across its systems and rigging over recent years, making it well-equipped for extended sailing.

The interior accommodates six berths across three cabins with two heads. The yacht's sail inventory is substantial, featuring a 2024 North 3DI mainsail, a 2019 Doyle Stratus mainsail, and multiple jibs and spinnakers including 2023 and 2022 North designs. A carbon fiber spinnaker pole and an above-deck Selden pole for asymmetrical work are included.

Recent upgrades include halyards, sheets, clutches, a replacement transmission, propeller shaft, and a 2019 Gori three-blade folding propeller. Electronics were refreshed in 2019 with Garmin equipment. The rudder and keel were stripped and faired in 2024. A full complement of safety gear is onboard. The boat is equipped to sail efficiently across a range of conditions and is ready for both cruising and more demanding offshore work.
