Older Beneteaus
I have been looking for a reasonably comfortable cruising boat that sails well. My working criteria are about 40-44 feet;@20,000 pounds displacement; PHRF rating of 90 or lower.
I have recently spent some time aboard a mid 80''s Beneteau First 435 and liked the way it sailed. It seems to me that mid 80''s First Series Beneteaus have held their value better than similar models from the 90''s.
Is this true? Any thoughts on why?
