With sophisticated modern styling, impressive performance on the race course and full suite of cruising comforts, its little wonder why the Benetau First 35 has proven to be so highly sought after! The Farr designed Beneteau First 35 offers race winning performance, fun sailing characteristics and brilliant cruising attributes in a smartly designed, great looking 35ft package. The deep rudder and performance t shaped keel allow the slippery hull to glide through the water with speed and precision. The generous sail plan gives this well balanced yacht power to move swiftly in light airs pointing high into the wind and plenty of horse power for lots of fun downwind too.
Cleverly fitted out, the First 35's interior has two spacious double cabins, a huge saloon, very large head compartments and a fully fitted L-shaped galley opposite the chart table. The interior stands out for the elegant contrast between the dark Wenge flooring, unmarked upholstery and light oak woodwork. For a cruiser racer, the volume is seriously impressive.
Moonshadow 6 has been used for cruising and bay racing and is a proven performer amongst other First 35s and similar size racing yachts. She is in great condition inside and out. Current owner is the third long term owner of the yacht. Turn key nothing to spend.
Moonshadow 6 has been setup with the following:
