Beneteau First 30 now available in online auction. Everyone can bid until October 19, 2026. Sporty Beneteau First 30 ready for adventure If you are looking for a characterful sailing boat with a sporty heart and enough comfort for a weekend getaway or vacation, this Beneteau First 30 from 1982 is an attractive candidate. The First line from Beneteau Yachts France has built its reputation on sailing yachts that feel lively at the helm while remaining practical for trips on inland waters and at sea. This First 30, named Sobat, is one of those boats that invites you to cast off after work or set course towards the IJsselmeer and Wadden Islands, just as her current owner has enjoyed doing. With a length of 9.38 meters and a beam of 2.86 meters, the Beneteau First 30 is a true 30-footer that feels surprisingly spacious. Inside, there is approximately 1.90 meters of headroom, making life aboard comfortable, even for longer stays. She offers five fixed berths, a cooking stove, and a manual toilet. This makes the boat suitable for leisure sailing, vacations, and spontaneous weekends away without compromising on living space. Beneteau First 30 now available in online auction. Everyone can bid until October 19, 2026. What makes this Beneteau First 30 so enjoyable to sail? She is known for her precise maneuverability and lively performance. The round bilge polyester hull gives her a pleasant maritime feel, and the tiller steering outside provides direct contact with the helm. This is a sailing yacht for sailors who enjoy trimming and steering but also for those simply looking for a swift cruising boat that stays on course. With one aluminum mast and a sail plan featuring mainsail and jib, complemented by a roller reefing system, she is easy to handle yet sporty enough to enjoy putting some extra pressure in the sails. The condition of the sails is described as fair, fitting for a boat that has been used as intended: sailing. How is she equipped for comfort in the cockpit and on deck? On deck, the First 30 is designed to make life outside enjoyable. She features a bimini top, cockpit table, cockpit tent, guardrails, and a swim ladder, along with fenders and lines. This makes her not only practical when docking but also cozy in the harbor. The cockpit is self-draining, contributing to ease of use. For anchoring, there is one anchor available with chain and line, as well as a manual windlass. This type of equipment suits well for purchasing a sailing boat for the IJsselmeer, Wadden Islands or coastal waters where you like to seek out quiet spots occasionally. What can you expect from the engine and technical aspects? She is equipped with a Yanmar 2GMF inboard diesel engine of 15 hp from 1982 with electric start. The engine is operational and provides confidence for maneuvering in and out of the harbor or motoring when the wind drops. According to the owner, filters have been replaced among other things, and the impeller was renewed last year. Onboard there is a 12V electrical system including battery charger, alternator, inverter, and shore power connection; two batteries are present. For navigation purposes there are facilities such as autopilot, depth sounder, GPS, chart plotter, and compass making her suitable for both inland waters and seas. What points should be noted about this boat? The boat is in reasonable condition which is honest and clear for anyone considering purchasing a used sailing boat via Boatauction. A known issue is that the lighting needs to be checked. Furthermore, she was last out of the water in 2019/2020 when antifouling was applied in 2020. No indications of osmosis have been reported. This gives buyers a clear starting point: a Beneteau First 30 with an appealing design that is ready to be refreshed and customized according to personal wishes. What makes this Sobat particularly interesting is that at the end of 2024 both the sprayhood and cockpit tent were replaced with an invoice available for review. An Autohelm 1000 from 2023 will also be included—a nice addition for those who enjoy longer legs or need extra support while sailing solo. This Beneteau First 30 is a sailing yacht that invites new memories: summer evenings in the harbor, early departures towards open water, and enough space to comfortably accommodate multiple people onboard overnight. If you are looking for a sporty 30-footer with character, this is an excellent opportunity to view her up close during the open day in Huizen and see if she fits your sailing plans.
