Description

Adventure, a 2011 Beneteau First 40, a well proven performance cruiser that combines strong sailing capabilities with seagoing comfort and practicality. The First 40 was developed by Beneteau with input from Farr Yacht Design and represents a serious cruiser racer platform well respected in the global sailing community. This model’s hull and rig design allows for confident passages offshore while still delivering rewarding sailing performance under a variety of conditions. Adventure carries a history of hard use and regular maintenance. Originally commissioned and operated by Sunsail UK as a charter and training yacht, she experienced intensive service and underwent a number of repairs prior to her current ownership.

These passages demonstrate her capability and resilience as a blue water capable vessel when properly maintained and handled. With conscientious care throughout cruising and refit history, Adventure delivers a reliable platform ready for her next owner’s adventures. The interior layout of Adventure is practical and versatile. She features two aft cabins, each with a double berth, providing good accommodation for family cruising or shared ownership arrangements. The forward cabin also offers a comfortable double berth and ample storage space, completing the three cabin arrangement characteristic of the First 40 class. A generous saloon easily seats up to eight people around a large, foldable table and provides a natural focal point for social life onboard. To starboard there is a dedicated navigation station, and to port a well appointed galley suitable fo...
