Boat Description

Introducing Sealestial – a 1986 Beneteau First 325, a remarkable performance cruiser and club racer sailboat. Situated at McCotters Marina and Boatyard, this meticulously maintained vessel exemplifies the excellence of the popular French design by renowned naval architect Jean Berret. The First 325 is celebrated for its versatility and affordability, delivering outstanding performance for both coastal cruising and competitive racing. With its streamlined hull, spacious two-cabin configuration, and high-quality craftsmanship, Sealestial is perfect for sailors in search of a fast and dependable performance cruiser. Powered by a reliable 20 HP Volvo Penta Model MD2002 diesel engine, Sealestial ensures smooth docking and maneuvering. Recent maintenance highlights include an oil change in April 2025, fuel filter replacement in October 2024, and new batteries installed in September 2023. The fuel tank was professionally cleaned in 2017 to guarantee system reliability, and the battery charger was serviced in 2018. Additionally, the manual bilge pump was replaced in 2016 to support seamless onboard operations. The sail inventory is well-kept and optimized for performance sailing, featuring a new mainsail installed in 2021 and a roller furling genoa from 2006 with minor stitching repairs made in 2009. Rigging enhancements include a new fixed boom vang and main halyard added in 2017. The hull received a thorough cleaning and waxing in 2024, along with bottom painting, ensuring this Beneteau First 325 remains a cherished classic. Below deck, Sealestial offers a cozy and practical interior, including two private cabins: a forward V-berth and an aft double cabin, along with convertible saloon settees that can accommodate up to six people for overnight stays. The headliner and stove were both updated in 2013, improving comfort for weekend getaways or extended coastal voyages. The Beneteau First 325 is renowned for its impressive blend of speed, handling, and comfort, making it a favorite among sailors seeking a capable club racer that is still user-friendly for short-handed or family outings. Its fiberglass hull and balsa-cored deck provide exceptional durability, while the design's agility ensures an exhilarating sailing experience. The strong owner community and extensive aftermarket support further enhance the allure of this classic French sailboat. Don't miss this fantastic opportunity to own Sealestial, a well-cared-for Beneteau First 325 that perfectly balances cruising affordability with performance and comfort.
