1991 Beneteau First 45f5

The Beneteau First 45f5 is a 45-foot fiberglass racer-cruiser built in 1991. Designed with a fin keel for stability and agility, this yacht combines the performance characteristics of a racing platform with the accommodation requirements of extended cruising. A single diesel engine provides propulsion for both racing and leisurely voyages.

The interior features two staterooms and two heads, with accommodations designed for comfortable cruising. The layout balances practical living space with the efficient design typical of performance sailing yachts of this era.

Recent work has included a comprehensive refit: a new Volvo diesel 50-horsepower engine, complete rigging replacement, new furler and dodger, new mainsail, full rewiring throughout, new batteries, inverter, windlass, and new autopilot. Navigation electronics include new Garmin GPS and radar with depth sounder, ensuring modern systems for safe passage.
