Boat Description

Introducing the 1988 Beneteau First 285, Hull #85, featuring a newly rebuilt Yanmar 2GM20F engine (2023). This boat offers an exhilarating sailing experience, perfect for exploring the Keys and the Bahamas. Sails include a Sobstad battened main with reef points, a UK roller furling genoa, and a UK Flasher asymmetrical cruising spinnaker, complemented by Harken roller furling and a whisker pole. Electronics and mechanical features include a Garmin 478 GPS, Raymarine wheel autopilot, Navisound depth sounder, compass, VHF radio with cockpit handset and an extra handheld unit, along with a cockpit table for convenience. The mechanical setup boasts a rebuilt Yanmar 2GM20F engine, two self-tailing winches, a cabin top standard winch, and adjustable outhaul, vang, and backstay. Additional amenities include a bimini top, wheel cover, captain's seat cushion, swim ladder, and both automatic and manual bilge pumps. Enjoy the luxury of dual water heaters, a transom shower, a down-the-hatch wind scoop, and a Windex wind vane with a bird spike. Power is supplied through AGM house and starting batteries, shore power, and solar battery chargers with a controller, all enhanced by LED lighting throughout. The leather-bound wheel features an emergency tiller, and the pedestal includes a compass and table with 12V and USB power outlets. Inside, the accommodations are comfortable with 6'2" headroom, sleeping arrangements for four, including a double V-berth forward and an aft cabin with a double berth. The main salon showcases varnished teak bulkheads, port and starboard settees, and a centerline table with drop leaves. The galley to port features an island sink with electric hot and cold fresh water, a two-burner propane stove with a gas detector, and an ice box. The chart table with VHF radio sits opposite the galley. To starboard, you'll find an enclosed head with a marine toilet, sink, and vanity with a mirror, alongside three cabin storage lockers and ample under-berth and settee storage. Large cockpit storage is also available, with fans installed throughout the salon. Built with a solid fiberglass hull, this vessel is equipped with a 20-gallon water tank, a 10-gallon holding tank, and a 10-gallon fuel tank.
