Broker's Comments

The First 285 is a well respected cruiser racer capable of long passages as well as coast hopping and this one is well equipped.
An ample cockpit with spacious interior. Optimistically styled as a 6 berth she is more suited to four plus 2 children.
She has just been re-launched (July) following annual underwater maintenance and anti fouling she is ready to sail away.
These boat details are subject to contract.
Note: Offers on the asking price may be considered.
