About this Beneteau First 28

English

'Selkie' is a lifting keel version of the First 28, which reduces her draft to 1.1m, making her ideal for exploring the East Coast. She had a new engine fitted in 2001, but has not been used in recent years, so is in need of some re-commissioning and general servicing to get her back in to commission.

Viewing by appointment only through our Essex office - 01621 785600.
