Defined by its reputation as a capable performance cruiser, this 2008 Beneteau First 45 remains a standout choice for those prioritizing sailing dynamics and comfortable accommodation. Measuring 13.68 meters in length with an overall length of 14.07 meters, the hull is constructed from fiberglass and features a 2.7-meter draft for stability and upwind performance.
This specific vessel has undergone extensive maintenance and modernization. Recent updates include new rod rigging as of 2025, a new bimini structure with NV equipment fabrics, and a complete update to the hydraulic system. The deck layout is optimized for efficiency with a carbon fiber bowsprit and dolphin striker, complemented by an electric winch installed in 2019 and a new furler system.
The interior layout features three cabins and two baths, providing comfortable space for extended stays. Comfort is further enhanced by an onboard Webasto heating system installed in 2020 and refreshed interior upholstery from the same year. Navigation and performance monitoring are handled by a full Garmin electronics suite updated between 2019 and 2020, with supplementary displays mounted on the mast.
Maintenance records confirm the saildrive seal was replaced in 2020, ensuring peace of mind for the next owner. A variety of additional sail inventories, including laminates, jibs, and gennakers, are available for separate purchase, allowing the buyer to tailor the boat's racing or cruising configuration to their specific preferences.
