Full Specs
This BENETEAU FIRST 53F5 is a GRP sailing yacht built in 1991 (launched 1992) to a design of Bruce Farr and Pininfarina.
The BENETEAU FIRST 53F5’s main characteristics are: 16.20 x (15.75) x 4.48 x 2.40 m - Hull weight: 14t - Ballast: 4.3t.
Powered by an 80 Hp Perkins Prima Turbo engine with 2200 running hours, the BENETEAU FIRST 53F5 comfortably accommodates 6 persons in 3 cabins, with an additional crew cabin.
Designed for performance ocean-going cruises, this high quality, and competitively priced world cruiser can be easily handled solo or by a sailing couple.
This BENETEAU FIRST 53F5 sloop features teak covered cockpit, seats and floors. She has been kept by her meticulous owner on a program of regular, preventive maintenance and improvements. She is a fully sorted out sailing yacht and in many ways a better than new vessel, also because she has never been chartered, rented or raced, but sailed exclusively as a summer holiday cruiser.
