Owner's comments
FIRST 325 PTE – Liveable and Performant Sailboat
First 325 PTE built by Bénéteau in 1984, solid, fast, and comfortable. This model remains a sure value on the market thanks to its sea lines, pleasant interior layout, and sailing performances.
This is the PTE (Shallow Draft) version, particularly interesting for navigating in shallow areas, estuaries, rias, Southern Brittany, or certain river areas.
⚓ MAIN CHARACTERISTICS – FIRST 325 PTE
• Length Overall: 10.01 m
• Beam: 3.38 m
• Reduced Draft (PTE): 1.45m – ideal for coastal navigation
• Year: 1984 – Builder: Bénéteau
• Material: Polyester – Category: B
• Engine: Volvo Penta 2002 – 19 HP – stainless steel propeller shaft, bronze two-blade propeller
• Sail: Mainsail 2019 – Furling genoa – Spinnaker
• Electronics: Autopilot, depth sounder, wind vane, Raymarine anemometer – Garmin GPS – VHF
• Fittings: 2 double cabins + convertible saloon – kitchen – marine toilet
• Inflatable dinghy AD
The boat has benefited from several recent maintenances: the engine was revised in 2022, with the elbow and exhaust hose changed. Its 2025 maintenance is carried out by a professional mechanic. The mainsail was replaced in 2019 with very few miles. A complete expertise dated October 2024 confirms a healthy structure, without keeling or deformation, and highlights a few points to monitor or to upgrade (standing rigging of origin, safety elements, some interior and exterior aesthetic details).
⚓ STRENGTHS OF THE FIRST 325 PTE
✔️ PTE version: low draft highly sought after
✔️ Recent mainsail (SAILS CONCEPT 2019)
✔️ Engine starts perfectly, revised (2025)
✔️ Functional Raymarine electronics
✔️ Pleasant cockpit – wooden interior to refresh
✔️ Exceptional quality/price ratio
________________________________________
⚓ Work to be planned in the short or medium term:
• Update of the standing rigging (recommendation linked to the age)
• Partial electrical circuit to be revised (battery/terminals standards)
• Front cabin lining to be redone and one cockpit slat to be replaced
• Some seacocks to be changed according to the expertise recommendations
________________________________________
This FIRST 325 PTE is a safe sailboat, well-built, with great potential for a sailor wishing to navigate quickly while bringing some targeted improvements. At this price, it represents an excellent opportunity for those wishing to acquire a reliable and well-maintained liveaboard cruiser, in this particularly sought-after intermediate size.
