Beneteau First 40.7 - Bushranger- $145,000
Beneteau First 40.7 'Bushranger'. COMING TO THE MARKET SOON
Bushranger started her life in 2004 where her competitive owner went the extra mile to optimise her in-water profile, with flush-mounted skin fittings and faired keel. She was professionally maintained for ten years and was regularly seen in the winner's circle around the Pittwater and blue water coastal scene.
She has been with the current family for three years who have enjoyed honing their children's yachting skills, competing in Port Stephens Race Week and when time would permit, cruising the beautiful bays of Pittwater.
The First 40.7 has been the ultimate club racer/cruiser and one of the most successful models released by Group Beneteau.
The standing rigging was replaced in October 2021 with the North Main and Genoa replaced 2022.
Bushranger has just been slipped, antifouled, polished with the saildrive leg serviced at Mac Marine Group.
