Remarks

There were many cruisers built in the 1980’s, but one stood out - the Beneteau First 42. Under sail in light or heavy air, Euphorie is a fast cruiser with an abundant sail inventory and all necessary deck hardware. She is a quality German Frers design with a solid hand-laid fiberglass hull, open deck space and a comfortable cockpit for cruising. All lines are run into the cockpit for easy single handling and all winches are self tailing. This cruiser has a deep draft for great stability and straight forward tracking. Her interior has recently been rebuilt with a new teak & holly sole, new headliner, new cushions and more for a comfortable live-aboard space. There are 6 berths sleeping 8 guests or crew with good storage for long distance cruising or racing and two heads for privacy.
This original owner has been caring for the boat for 34 years and it shows. The captain is constantly updating the vessel with new equipment like the linear drive autopilot, deck paint, sail covers, new hard dodger, canvas and so much more. The boat has been cruised and raced all over the Caribbean and is ready to go again. Do not hesitate to call Barry at 954-873-1800 for more information.
