Comments:

The Beneteau First Class 10 /105 has proved a successful Racer/ Cruising yacht
With many wins both on the European Circuit and in the Caribbean race calendars .

Although mainly cruised now ‘Highlander’ in her own right can still be a very competitive
boat with a well motivated Crew and She carries a good handicap. At just under 35 feet
she has a good waterline length on a well designed hull.

She is being Offered at a Realistic and Affordable Price and should be seriously considered if you are looking to enter the world of Club Racing on a low budget.

As a cruising boat ‘Highlander’ gives exceptional space and fast passage making although
Some further comforts may want to be added .
