General Description
The Beneteau First 435 is a rare offering in the US. Designed by German Frers and built
in France to the highest standards as an offshore racing/cruising boat, the 435 is a fast,
powerful, solidly built design that also happens to have a nicely appointed interior for
cruising. The layout features two private staterooms, two heads and a centerline queen
berth in the aft cabin, with total accommodations for 7. Above all, the 435 is intended for
those who really sail.
As a true Bluewater racer/cruiser, with a PHRF base rating of 81, the First 435 glides
beautifully in light air and competently punches through adverse weather. Mariannina was
built in 1988 and has enjoyed numerous innovative improvements & upgrades for safety
and singlehanded sailing. She has confidently sailed our family on numerous voyages
along the New England coast from NY to Maine and down to the Bahamas taking line
honors in the 2012 Arc Bahamas. With all control lines led to two deck mounted electric
winches she is routinely solo sailed along the CT, RI, MA coast and out to the islands
(Block, Shelter, Cutty, MV, Nantucket, ….).
