Description
This well cared for, freshwater, 1989 Beneteau First 35s5 brings together performance, comfort and practicality in a 36-foot package. Her moderately light displacement and well-engineered hull design deliver responsive sailing and good upwind ability, yet the interior layout provides surprising space and comfort for cruising. With a sloop rig that is manageable for two or three, the First 36 appeals to both sailing enthusiasts and cruising couples alike. Below decks she features comfortable sleeping berths, a functional galley and salon, and thoughtful storage—making her suitable for weekend getaways or longer voyages. Owners consistently note her solid build quality, ease of handling, and value in the used market.
