1992 Beneteau First 45F5

Valkyrie is a 1992 Beneteau First 45F5, a 45-foot fiberglass sailing yacht designed by Bruce Farr. The boat combines racing pedigree with cruising capability, built around a hull and deck optimized for both performance sailing and extended voyages.

Below deck, the layout includes three cabins and two heads. The main cabin offers the primary living space, with additional berths forward and aft to accommodate a crew or extended family. The galley and saloon are integrated to support both day sailing and longer passages.

Recent work on the boat includes a complete electrical system installed in 2022 and a new suit of Evolution sails from the same year. The yacht is powered by a Perkins 60HP auxiliary engine. Renewable energy generation is supported by a 400W solar array, reducing reliance on the engine and battery reserves during extended cruising.
