Beneteau First 44.7 used

Spirited performance meets practical comfort in this 2006 Beneteau First 44.7. Designed for those who appreciate competitive sailing, the vessel is equipped with a mast-tapered racing rig featuring two spreader levels, Dyform standing rigging, and a hydraulic backstay. Further specialized equipment includes a carbon fiber spinnaker pole and upgraded 48-size coachroof winches. The hull, finished in white, was treated with an epoxy coating in 2022 following a full strip-back to zero, ensuring a solid foundation for performance. Accommodation on board includes three cabins and two baths, complemented by a double berth in the saloon to accommodate guests comfortably. The interior and deck functionality are enhanced by the Y.Club pack, which includes teak cockpit decking, waterproof cockpit speakers, and a hot/cold cockpit shower. A 12V 4A compression refrigerator maintains provisions during longer trips. In 2022, the electrical system was updated with four new batteries. Ongoing maintenance has been a priority for the single owner. Recent technical updates include the 2025 replacement of the sail drive seal, exhaust manifold, and sail drive cone. The standing rigging was fully replaced in 2026. Underwater gear is well-sorted, with the rudder bushings replaced in 2019 and bronze seacocks installed the same year. The inventory of sails includes a 2017 Geosail Dyneema mainsail, a 2019 Geosail Dyneema jib, as well as a storm jib, gennaker, and spinnaker. This used boat is currently available in Italy with VAT paid. Please note that a 5% brokerage commission plus 22% VAT on the commission amount is payable by the buyer.
