After 5 years in my ownership, its time to part with my Beneateu First 3. Minnie Moo has been cruised extensively around Ireland Scotland and Wales, mostly singled handed, hence is setup for ease of handling shorthanded.

Headings will need to be replaced in the forward and aft cabin, hence she is priced to sell. INTERIOR/ACCOMODATION Berth... read more

One of the last Sigma 33s built by MARINE PROJECTS LTD. Her first owner was the famous David Hopkins, hence the orignal name "Surveyor of Hamble". This boat never got the hard sailing that can be got from class sailing, which is the reason why i bought it. Sigma 33's are a fine well known design. From a racing point of view the SIGMA 33 OOD is capable of holding its place. As a cruiser it has the right design to be able to keep you safe if you should happen to be caught in foul weather. Hull Number: A 3334 Year of build 1990 - year commissioned 1991 ADDITIONS/UPGRADES: ... read more

French production boatbuilders Beneteau require no introduction from me, having been in business since 1884! The First 40.7 was initially designed by Bruce Farr in 1999 and very quickly gained popularity with nearly 700 produced in total. I would imagine they are probably the best known of the cruiser-racers, they still turn up in numbers at club regattas all over the country and as a family cruising boat they offer excellent accommodation as well as being fun to sail This 40.7 has had a good career under RORC, from channel races to Round Britain and Ireland and she's crossed the Atlantic t... read more
