First 44.7

Designed for those seeking a balance of competitive performance and cruising utility, this 2006 Beneteau First 44.7 is a capable vessel currently lying in Toscana, Italy. Measuring 13.68 meters overall, this unit features a 2.6-meter draft and a 9,129 kg displacement, providing a stable platform for both regatta participation and coastal cruising. It is powered by a 54 HP Yanmar engine with 2,300 hours of use, equipped with a sail-drive transmission. This specific example stands out for its extensive maintenance and racing-oriented configuration. The rig includes a tapered mast, two spreader sets with Dyform rigging, and a hydraulic backstay. The deck layout is optimized for performance, featuring upgraded 48-size coachroof winches, a removable jib drum, and a carbon spinnaker pole. Maintenance highlights include a hull stripped to zero with an epoxy treatment in 2022, plus the replacement of hull valves with bronze fittings in 2019 and a complete standing rigging replacement in 2026. The interior layout consists of 3 cabins and 2 baths, complemented by a double berth in the saloon. Notable onboard systems include a refrigeration unit, a hot/cold cockpit shower, and a sound system with waterproof cockpit speakers. The inventory of sails is comprehensive, featuring a 2017 Dyneema mainsail, a 2019 Dyneema jib, as well as a storm jib, gennaker, and spinnaker. Recent mechanical updates completed in 2025 include the sail-drive gasket, exhaust manifold, and sail-drive cone. This yacht is available for inspection at Marina Cala de’ Medici. As a single-owner boat, it has been meticulously cared for with consistent updates to the rudder bushings, battery bank, and canvas work. The current asking price is 125.000 EUR with VAT paid status.
