Description
Features
"Lady First" is a fantastic example of a Beneteau First 456, a Classic Blue Water Cruiser that has had a huge amount of money spent on her over the last couple of years and is ready to go.
The boat has been completely refitted over the past couple of years, including, but not limited to: a new Engine, new Bowthruster, new Seacocks, boat completely rewired and replumbed, new Batteries, new Upholstery, new Decking, new Standing and Running Rigging and new Galley and Heads have all been fitted.
The current owners have fitted the boat to sail away but their plans have changed and are now, reluctantly, selling.
Broker's View: "The Owner has recently delivered this boat along the South Coast of England and into Portishead and reports that the boat sailed beautifully with no issues. This Classic Blue Water Cruiser is ready to take you anywhere that you want to go."
The Boat was Vinyl Wrapped in 2021 by Yacht Wrap UK: https://www.yachtwrapsuk.co.uk/project/beneteau-first-456/
