2011 Beneteau First 40

Adventure, a 2011 Beneteau First 40, a well proven performance cruiser that combines strong sailing capabilities with seagoing comfort and practicality. The First 40 was developed by Beneteau with input from Farr Yacht Design and represents a serious cruiser racer platform well respected in the global sailing community. This model’s hull and rig design allows for confident passages offshore while still delivering rewarding sailing performance under a variety of conditions.  Adventure carries a history of hard use and regular maintenance. Originally commissioned and operated by Sunsail UK as a charter and training yacht, she experienced intensive service and underwent a number of repairs prior to her current ownership. Since acquisition, the current owners have undertaken extensive equipment repairs and upgrades and invested in ongoing maintenance to ensure the vessel is fully functional and reliable.  Since 2021, Adventure has seen serious offshore cruising service. She was actively sailed in the Baltic Sea during 2022 and subsequently prepared for an Atlantic crossing departure in late 2023. That crossing was successfully completed in January 2024 and she has since been lived aboard while cruising the Caribbean. These passages demonstrate her capability and resilience as a blue water capable vessel when properly maintained and handled. With conscientious care throughout cruising and refit history, Adventure delivers a reliable platform ready for her next owner’s adventures.  The interior layout of Adventure is practical and versatile. She features two aft cabins, each with a double berth, providing good accommodation for family cruising or shared ownership arrangements. The forward cabin also offers a comfortable double berth and ample storage space, completing the three cabin arrangement characteristic of the First 40 class. A generous saloon easily seats up to eight people around a large, foldable table and provides a natural focal point for social life onboard. To starboard there is a dedicated navigation station, and to port a well appointed galley suitable for extended cruising. A single head with shower forward serves the interior. One aft cabin is without a mattress; a mattress cover is aboard.  Above decks the cockpit is exceptionally large and functional, with substantial space for crew and storage. A major storage compartment under the cockpit sole adds practical stowage for cruising equipment, lines and safety gear. The ergonomics of the cockpit suit both comfortable cruising and competitive sailing.  Adventure is equipped with a comprehensive Garmin navigation suite that brings modern reliability to her systems. The suite includes a Garmin GPSMAP 923 in the cockpit installed in 2023, a Garmin GMR-18 radar also from 2023, a Garmin Reactor autopilot with linear drive installed in 2022, four Garmin GMI-10 repeater instruments in the cockpit, and a Garmin AIS-400 transponder. She also features a Hydrov
