Beneteau First 44.7

Ready to go- nothing to spend.
One of Beneteau's most loved models, the First 44.7 combines live aboard comfort with speed. Extremely seaworthy, Solace is set up to be shorthanded with an autopilot and electric halyard winch, new liferaft, watermaker and quality sail inventory. Her interior is very well cared for, with new corian benchtops in the galley, a new stove, and she has recently been fully rewired and had lithium batteries installed
We love selling boats like this. Carefully looked after, everything up to date and maintained to a professional level, and with everything you need to head off into the wild blue yonder!

Solace's owner has cruised her up and down the east coast, and sailed in her the last two Sydney Hobarts, meaning she is in Cat 1 and comes with everything you need for long or short term cruising, with a bit of racing thrown in if you like. Her full sail wardrobe is from the last few years, including a new main in 2025, and the dyform rigging replaced on her painted carbon mast in 2024.

The list of upgrades is extensive, but here are some highlights-
