Seller's Comments

There was virtually no expense spared so there should be very little to replace for a very long time. The boat, true to the First reputation, is very solidly built, sails beautifully and regularly beats boats that are larger while still remaining manageable, comfortable and safe to handle shorthanded.

Obviously being a 1987, it isn't perfect but given its great condition and our continuous desire to keep it in top shape, it should bring pride and pleasure and be a safe investment for a discerning new owner.
