Broker's Comments

The Beneteau First 260 Spirit is a stylish modern cruiser designed to offer a combination of good accommodation and very good sailing performance.
The lifting keel makes it ideal for sailing the back waters and shallows. The inboard diesel engine on a shaft drive powers the boat along at around 5 knots.
