31' Beneteau First 310

We moved to Europe.... so unfortunately we'll have to find a new caring home for our comfortable cruiser and nimble competitive beer can racer based on one of Beneteau's most successful hull designs.

Fresh water boat in Lake Michigan!

Full cruising set up as well as racing set up. Lots of extra's!

Continuously upgraded and very well maintained (see list of upgrades). This is arguably the best kept Beneteau First 310 around! Just in the last 4 years in over $15,000 in upgrades!

"Tibateau" is a deep draft 31' vessel drawing 5'8". In keeping with the revolutionary designs of the 1990's the stern sections run broad and make for a large aft stateroom to port and a large lazarette under the starboard bench in the cockpit. This vessel is fast around the cans, with a displacement of only 7500 lbs. and a combined sail area of 460 sq. ft., the SA/D ratio is over 20, "Tibateau" ghosts along in light air and really comes into its own once the breeze picks up to 10 knots. The sweet spot is in the teens, where the boat shines and easily gets into a groove with a light and well balanced helm. When racing the state of the art 130 and 155% jibs and deep keep ensure a fabulous pointing angle. When cruising the comfortable roller furling is high cut for visibility and maximum comfort. For downwind courses there is both and A-symetrical spinnaker set from the removable Selden bowsprit or the traditional spinnaker.
