Beneteau First 211 (2002) En vente

The Beneteau First 211 Chinook is a compact and lively cruiser-racer that offers a great mix of performance, simplicity, and easy handling.

Built in 2002, she is a very appealing option for sailors looking for a small yacht with real sailing ability, a shallow draft when the keel is up, and enough comfort for enjoyable days afloat or short cruising trips. Her sporty lines, light displacement, and lifting keel make her a versatile boat that is easy to manage and rewarding to sail.
Chinook is fitted with a single-spreader fractional alloy mast, a furling headsail system, and a well-balanced sail plan that includes a main sail, furling jib, and spinnaker. The survey confirms that she has been wintered ashore, maintained to a good standard, and is in good condition considering her age, with no major problems expected in the medium term.
