Broker's Comments

The Beneteau First 211, referred to as a 'pocket rocket', was designed to be a high performance sailing boat, that is simple to sail. With both a lifting keel and twin lifting rudders, the boat is simple to both beach and trailer, which provides options to widen cruising grounds. In addition to performance, the boat is designed with safety in mind, including foam buoyancy in the stern and bow.

This boat is a very good example, being in commission and with an all round very good level of condition and upkeep. The interior is bright, clean and modern and the sale includes a Beckton road trailer, in excellent condition. This is an excellent package and opportunity to purchase a performance trailer sailer, family cruiser or racing boat.
