Beneteau First 40

The Farr designed Beneteau First 40 quickly established itself as a performer on the race circuit.  If racing is not your thing. Not to worry Farr has done it again balancing comfort and performance to ensure all on board are comfortable. The light oak veneer creates an airy, simple and modern atmosphere down below. The aft cabins have an impressive 6ft of head room, hanging lockers and decent sized berths with 12 volt fans throughout and opening ports in each room for maximum comfort. The nav station has lots of flat surface area and easy access for mounting instruments and the galley is well appointed with all the amenities you would expect. If you are into on shore racing, offshore racing or simply cruising around the Caribbean, the Libertas will meet your demands. The owners of Taillevant have kept her in excellent shape throughout the years, sparing no expense when it comes to maintenance. Additional information
