2020 27' Beneteau First 27 SE "Totoro"
This is a very clever, trailer-able, pocket racer/cruiser. The current owner has nicely maintained her and she is ready to go.
She brings the cutting edge of offshore racing into the hands of recreational sailors - the performance, the technology, the community, and of course, the exhilaration. She has a hull with very high initial stability, a deep lead-bulb keel, an easily-handled carbon rig, and a large square-top mainsail without a backstay or runners. Smart cockpit ergonomics and a balanced twin-rudder steering system all empower her sailors to handle her with confidence. No matter if you're sailing solo, double-handed or fully crewed, the First 27 SE will reward you with an astonishing sailing experience and pure joy under the sail.
Accommodations
There is a V berth forward, followed by an enclose-able head to starboard and a spinnaker storage to port. The main cabin has settee berths with a removable table on the keel case. There is a cooler under the cockpit steps and port and starboard quarter berths aft.
The outboard motor stows under the cockpit sole and pivots into a well.
