Beneteau First 310 Cruiser/Racer 1994 - $42,000 (Marina Del Rey)
QR Code Link to This Post
But Beneteau didn't stop there. They wanted to produce a boat balanced both in comfort as well as performance so they promptly commissioned Phillipe Stark (bad-boy of design at the time) to produce a cabin interior equal in comfort to it's elevated sailing performance, balancing that elusive desire for fast sailing and warm, commodious comfort below.
So there you have it...a true performance cruiser, showing unprecedented attention to design detail, that's as comfortable inside as its sailing performance is outside. My 310 has had loving care, regular maintenance, on-going upgrading AND ALOTTA SAILING!
Alas, I must let it go...I ask only one courtesy please; Do NOT respond to this ad, unless this vessel is among one, you'd consider owning.
