For more then 10 years our Beneteau First 45F5 was our:

Home;
workshop;
swimming platform;
safe place;
meeting point;
atelier;
transportation;
restaurant;
photo studio;
sunset spot;
and much much more.
We sailed together from the North of Europe to Mexico. Enjoying our Journey.

Then suddenly we got an offer what we could not refuse and we decided to go to an elderly house for sailors, a catamaran! 🙂

And now, very unexpected our boat is for sale…
