2010 Beneteau First 40

Taillevant has always been based at Willsboro Marina on Lake Champlain in New York State so she has spent most of her life in fresh water. In the fall of 2022, the owner relocated the yacht to the Caribbean, specifically to Martinique, and then moved it to the British Virgin Islands (BVI) the following year. The owner has consistently maintained and upgraded the vessel, addressing any deficiencies with care. Recent improvements include new North Sails 3Di sails, a new autopilot, new AIS, new batteries, and fresh antifouling, among other updates.The Farr designed Beneteau First 40 quickly established itself as a performer on the race circuit. If racing is not your thing. Not to worry Farr has done it again balancing comfort and performance to ensure all on board are comfortable. The light oak veneer creates an airy, simple and modern atmosphere down below. The aft cabins have an impressive 6ft of head room, hanging lockers and decent sized berths with 12 volt fans throughout and opening ports in each room for maximum comfort.The nav station has lots of flat surface area and easy access for mounting instruments and the galley is well appointed with all the amenities you would expect.If you are into on shore racing, offshore racing or simply cruising around the Caribbean, Taillevant will meet your demands.The owners of Taillevant have kept her in excellent shape throughout the years, sparing no expense when it comes to maintenance.Additional informationInterior Comforts and AmenitiesSleeps 8 in 3 cabins + saloonLight oak interior with cream leatherette upholsteryDouble V-berth forwardTwo single saloon berths with lee clothsTwo double aft cabinsChart table2-burner gas stove with oven12V DC refrigerationStainless steel sink with fresh and salt waterJabsco manual marine toiletHand basin and showerVented propane lockerWater heaterHeater with ventilation mode to provide fresh and cool air to cabinsMajestic flatscreen TV in saloonElectronics and Navigation EquipmentRaymarine chart plotter at helm and chart table3 Raymarine ST60+ graphic instruments on mast with remote controlRaymarine P70s autopilot control at helmRaymarine ST60+ graphic instrument at helmFusion marine stereo at chart table with control at helm2 Fusion marine speakers in cockpitContest Plasimo compass in cockpitRaymarine VHF at chart tableXantrex Freedom X LCD control at chart tableIcom handheld VHFNavigation lightsMcMurdo Smart Find AIS EPIRBElectric SystemMarineco Easy Lock 30-amp 125-volt shore power inlet at sternVarious shore power cables4 GPL 27 T Lifeline AGM batteries for house bank (new Nov 2024)1 GPL 27 T Lifeline AGM battery for engine starter bank (new Nov 2024)Xantrex Freedom X 2000 inverter chargerInstrument panel at chart tableLED lighting throughout12V Camfro Sirocco fans throughoutMechanical SystemsEasily accessible simple quadrant steering systemManual bilge pump lever at helmBronze 2-blade folding propellerElectric anchor windlass by QuickElectric bilge pumpDeck and Cockpit EquipmentFull set of docklines and fendersCockpit showerDinghy engine mount on stern pulpitLife raftWater hoses45 lbs stainless steel Delta anchor at bow with approx. 100' chain45 lbs stainless steel Bruce spare anchorCockpit cushionsDodgerSails and RiggingNorth 3Di laminated racing sails in good conditionRod riggingSparcraft three-spreader aluminium mastSparcraft boom and boom vangNavtec hydraulic backstay adjusterSix Harken 50 self-tailing two-speed winches in cockpit areaFacnor RX 200 roller furlerSparcraft carbon fiber spinnaker poleAluminium whisker poleTender9.8-horsepower, 2-stroke Tohatsu outboardAluminium-hulled RIB (approx. 10 feet) in good condition
