Boat Description

Introducing the meticulously maintained Performance Cruiser, Molto Bene! This isn't just a 40-year-old boat; it's a classic racer-cruiser designed by the renowned German Frers for Beneteau, boasting stunning lines and a robust build that allows her to tackle the ocean comfortably while still being competitive in races. The interior has been thoughtfully updated for effortless cruising, with control lines leading aft for easy short-handed sailing. Her impressive history includes consecutive wins in the Annapolis to Bermuda ocean races, six winters spent cruising the Caribbean, and even an adventurous trip to Cuba. She's eager for new journeys—where will you take her next? Here are some standout features: a 2017 Selden Mast, updated standing and running rigging from 2017, a 2008 Volvo Penta D2-55 engine, air conditioning and heating in the saloon and forward cabin (2013), a custom galley (2013), Sea Frost refrigeration (2013), a custom dining table storage unit (2011), fully refurbished electrical and communication panels (2015), a custom-refurbished cabin sole, new batteries (2023), a charger and inverter (2022), a Lewmar electric windlass (2018), and four solar panels (2017). Plus, fresh water hoses and faucets were replaced in 2016.
