Beneteau First 35 – 1980

This beautiful First 35 from 1980 is a cruiser-racer monohull built in France by the renowned Bénéteau shipyard. Designed by naval architect Jean Berret, it features a fixed keel, masthead sloop rig, and measures 10.70 meters in length.

The current owner purchased the boat in Fort-de-France in 2022 and has since undertaken extensive renovations (with invoices available) to bring it into excellent condition. After two years sailing the Caribbean, the boat was further outfitted for a Pacific crossing, which was successfully completed in April 2025, arriving in French Polynesia.

The First 35 “Beau Triton” is a well-maintained and well-equipped sailing vessel. It offers an excellent opportunity for sailors on a modest budget looking to explore Polynesia or take on bluewater cruising.
