Beneteau First 285 - SailNet Community
2001年12月13日 · That being said the 285 with a wing might very well fit into the category of a maxi-trailerable racer/cruiser.. which is quite frankly what I considered it for. It gives full standing headroom, great fit and finish down below, inboard diesel (volvo), wheel steering and many of the larger boat features in a small boat.
I'm considering the purchase of a first 285, would this boat be safe ...
2015年10月27日 · The First 285 is a great little boat. Super for couples and weekend cruising. Tight but doable for 4. It HAS two private cabins. But at the end of the day; its 28 feet long. No magic can work around that. Now to your question. You say you want to go Blue Water cruising someday. A First 285 cost what now; $23k??
Beneteau First 285 Owners Manual - Sailboat Owners Forums
2019年6月20日 · Hello, I just bought and received my first sailboat--a 1988 Beneteau First 285! The downside is after transport, I could use some help with re-rigging her. I've searched desperately for a copy of the owner's manual and come up empty-handed as it appears others have here previously.
First 285 electrical questions | Sailboat Owners Forums
2008年9月25日 · Thanks, Randy. I did call Beneteau, and they gave me the same information. I had tried, unsuccessfully, to contact them several times earlier this summer. This time, no trouble getting to someone who answered a number of questions (including the Euro/AC question - Beneteaus says that our boat was built in the U.S. to handle our 30 amp AC ...
First 285? - Sailboat Owners Forums
2016年4月6日 · The 285 is a nice 28 footer, probably the best 80's 28 footer you'll come across. Sadly most here in the USA have a wheel, a cabin-top traveler, and a wing keel. I've been on one in France with a tiller that had the traveler across the bridge deck. Fin keel. THAT was a nice boat. Most USA boats had wings and wheels.
Recomendations for Ventilation on First 285 - Sailboat Owners …
2003年5月18日 · The 285 at least has the opening portlight in the aft cabin (to the cockpit?). That is the first thing to add on my 235. The second is a solar/battery powered vent installed in the center of the forward hatch. Third on the list is installing 4" X 10" portlights in the fixed plexi windows port and starboard one over the head, the other over the ...
Beneteau 285 trailer - Sailboat Owners Forums
2013年4月21日 · Our Beneteau 285 First plus trailer weigh nearly 10,000lb. I don't think I could possibly use a ramp to launch, much too heavy and cumbersome. We use a large hoist & fork lift to raise the mast, here in Lake Tahoe. The trailer in …
88 beneteau first 285 vs 82 aloha 28.5 - SailNet Community
2023年7月20日 · Comparing a beneteau 285 vs the aloha 28.5 the beneteau is a wing keel with a wheel and the aloha has a tiller. Both are in very good nick with great recent surveys..I am looking at spending 25g for beneteau and less than 10g for aloha. I know the beneteau is a newer boat but the 15-18 grand is hard to justify for a 6 year newer boat.
Talk me into (or out of) a Bene 285. - Sailboat Owners Forums
2014年7月25日 · If there truly was two different rigs for the 285 in the USA, neither I or anyone I know has seen them. Shnool, for sure liberty boat are just plaques and graphics. They put them on random boats, non sequential serial numbers, random hardware (winches, etc) The 285 in any flavor is much faster than a TR cat27.
