I'm looking at purchasing a Beneteau First, either a 25.7 or 27.7.

Has anyone any advice to give either positive or negative.

How well do they stand up to sea conditions etc.

After spending a day on my 35s5 I can only suggest you looks at other
cheap production boats.

Find something of quality that will last if taken out of the slip,
beneteaus just are not up to the task.

After all my 35s5 is just a stepping stone, I will sell it for a
profit soon.

You all will crap Mac Trucks when you see my next boat

What won't last, are you talking about boat structure and essential
equipment or the internal cosmetics etc.

I am looking for a boat that is up to the job when sailing offshore, maybe a
few nights on board but definately not to live aboard.

The internal fitout of the First series is fairly basic but that's fine with
me.
