1991 Beneteau First 38s5

The Beneteau First 38s5 represents the French builder's celebrated vision of the racer-cruiser: a boat designed for both competitive performance and comfortable cruising. Built on a fiberglass hull with a fin keel and spade rudder, the design combines light construction with responsive handling that rewards both solo sailing and crew work.

The interior reflects Beneteau's attention to comfort and finish. Two cabins and two heads accommodate family cruising or racing teams. The layout balances practical sailing functions with carefully considered aesthetics, featuring quality wood selections and thoughtful joinery throughout.

Power comes from a single Yammer diesel engine. The boat is rigged for immediate sailing and racing use, having been well maintained with minimal cosmetic wear throughout the interior. At 38 feet in length with a 12-foot beam, it offers the balance of easy handling and genuine sea-keeping ability that defined this successful series.
