This 2006 Beneteau First 44.7 offers a sophisticated balance between competitive racing pedigree and comfortable cruising. Designed by Farr Yacht Design, the vessel features a 13.37-meter hull constructed of fiberglass, optimized for performance without sacrificing interior volume. The boat is currently in good condition, with significant maintenance performed between 2022 and 2026, including a complete rigging replacement and a zero-hull epoxy treatment.
Designed for versatility, the interior layout comprises three spacious cabins and two bathrooms, accommodating up to 12 people. The living quarters are enhanced by an Eberspächer heating system serving the cabins and the dinette, which features a convertible table for additional sleeping capacity. The galley is well-equipped for extended stays, featuring a two-burner stove, oven, and a water-cooled FrigoBoat compressor.
The deck and rigging configuration reflects its racing origins, featuring a tapered mast with two sets of spreaders, Dyform rigging, and six Harken winches. Performance is supported by a comprehensive sail inventory, including a 2017 Dyneema mainsail and a 2019 Dyneema jib, complemented by spinnaker and gennaker gear, including a carbon fiber spinnaker pole. Navigational precision is managed by Raymarine electronics, including a C80 plotter, ST6000 autopilot with a Lecomble & Schmitt actuator, and AIS integration.
Recent technical updates ensure reliability for the next owner, including a 2025 revision of the sail drive and a 2026 renewal of the forestay, backstay, and standing rigging. The cockpit is finished in teak and includes a sprayhood, lazy bag, and lazy jack system. This Beneteau First 44.7 is offered at 120.000 EUR with VAT paid, currently located in Italy and ready for inspection.
