FIRST 325 PTE – Fast and comfortable cruising sailboat
Built by Bénéteau in 1984, the First 325 PTE is robust, fast, and comfortable. This model remains a reliable choice on the market thanks to its seaworthy lines, pleasant interior layout, and sailing performance.
This is the PTE (Shallow Draft) version, particularly well-suited for navigating in shallow waters, estuaries, rias, Southern Brittany, or even certain river areas.
⚓ MAIN SPECIFICATIONS – FIRST 325 PTE
• LOA: 10.01 m
• Beam: 3.38 m
• Shallow draft (PTE): 1.45 m – ideal for coastal sailing
• Year: 1984 – Builder: Bénéteau
• Material: Fiberglass – Category: B
• Engine: Volvo Penta 2002 – 19 HP – stainless steel propeller shaft, two-blade bronze propeller
• Sail plan: Mainsail 2019 – Genoa on furler – Spinnaker
• Electronics: Autopilot, depth sounder, wind vane, Raymarine anemometer – Garmin GPS – VHF
• Accommodation: 2 double cabins + convertible saloon – galley – marine head
• Inflatable dinghy AD
The boat has benefited from several recent maintenance operations: the engine had its exhaust elbow and hose replaced in 2022. Its 2025 service was carried out by a professional mechanic. The mainsail was replaced in 2019 with very few miles. A full survey dated October 2024 confirms a sound structure, with no grounding damage or deformation, and highlights a few points to monitor or upgrade (original standing rigging, safety equipment, some minor interior and exterior cosmetic details). The keel bolts are in good condition as they were replaced by a previous owner.
⚓ STRENGTHS OF THE FIRST 325 PTE
✔️ PTE version: highly sought-after shallow draft
✔️ Recent mainsail (SAILS CONCEPT 2019)
✔️ Engine starts perfectly, serviced (2025)
✔️ Functional Raymarine electronics
✔️ Comfortable cockpit – wooden interior to be refreshed to taste
✔️ Exceptional value for money
________________________________________
⚓ Work to be planned in the short or medium term:
• Standing rigging update (recommended due to age)
• Forward cabin lining to be repaired and one cockpit slat to be replaced
• 2 seacocks and through-hull fittings to be replaced as per survey recommendations
________________________________________
This FIRST 325 PTE is a safe, well-built sailboat with significant potential for a sailor looking to cruise quickly while making a few targeted improvements. At this price, it represents an excellent opportunity for those seeking a reliable, well-maintained cruising sailboat in this highly sought-after mid-size range.
