1983 42 Beneteau First

[CampFireJack]

There were many racing boats built in the 1980s, but one cruiser/racer stood out - the Beneteau First 42. Under sail in light or heavy air, Euphorie is a true club racer with an abundant sail inventory and all necessary hardware for winning. She is a quality German Frers design with a solid hand-laid fiberglass hull, open deck space and a comfortable cockpit for 8. All lines are run into the cockpit for easy single handling and all winches are self tailing. Her interior has recently been varnished and a new teak & holly sole and new headliner were installed. A new linear drive autopilot was installed and new deck and cockpit paint has been added. There are 6 berths sleeping 8 guests or crew with good storage for long distance cruising or racing.

Lovingly cared for by the original owner, Euphorie is race or cruise ready today. Do not hesitate to preview this well equipped world racer before she is scooped up by a racing club. Call Barry at 954-873-1800 for more information.
