Summary

Presenting a robust and fast sailing yacht with standout features, this 1984 Beneteau First 456 located in English Harbour, Antigua and Barbuda, was built when the industry was still producing remarkably strong and durable vessels. Designed by German Frers, who is known for creating swift boats that are both reliable and perform well, she is renowned for her similarity in hull profile to the Swan 48 and Grand Soleil 46. This incredibly capable vessel can take you safely on offshore passages at high average speeds. Equipped with solar panels and a watermaker, she has sustainable water supply covered, while her 45 cabin layout ensures ample privacy, making it ideal for families or guests. Power comes courtesy of a reliable Volkswagen marinised diesel fitted by the seller, a marine engineer on superyachts. Her versatility extends to her being equipped with a workshop, parts and tools as well as a good set of sails that still have a lot of life left in them. She also carries a powerful rig and her hull design facilitates good pointing and fast reaching. The autopilot handles self-steering very well making her easy to handle even with a small crew. Whether you want to glide across oceans or compete in races, this is the sailing vessel for you.
