Beneteau 38S5 First
She is a Beneteau First, which was converted for offshore cruising about 2010 in San Francisco and sailed out to Australia. She has been Cruised extensively since then up and down the Australian East Coast.
Cruising conversion included Solar and Wind Charging Systems; Forward holding tank converted to fuel, so holds 200lts Diesel; Davits added which work well with up to 40 kg Dinghy. New Aurora 2.7m Aluminium Hull/RIB can be lifted by one person; seperate lift for 9.8hp Outboard. 400lts of Water Storage; Seawater Pump in the Galley to conserve the fresh water on long passages.
After purchase in 2017, I fitted a new Beta Marine 35hp 4 cyl Diesel Engine which has been reliable and regularly service according to the Maintenance Schedule and after 2250 hours has never let me down.
Sails in good condition, New Mainsail (2019) with Mainsail Bay; Headsail on above deck Harken Furler still in good condition; New Asymmetrical Spinnaker in Sock (2024).
New Anchor Winch with 80m of 8mm Chain (2024).
New Eno cooker with oven (2020).
Just Antifouled mid April.
