Vitesse is a beautifully maintained Beneteau First 31.7, designed by Groupe Finot and built in France by Beneteau in 2000.
Recently slipped during May 2024 with new antifoul, topside polish, new propeller coating and fresh gearbox oil. (See new slipping photos)
Hull construction is FRP polyester with vinal ester barrier and integral moulded structural grid, the deck is FRP polyester with balsa core. The L shaped bulb keel is cast iron and FRP spade rudder with tiller steering.
Vitesse is a pleasure to sail single handed, two handed or fully crewed, she has spent the past four years sailing southern Bass Strait waters along the north coast of Tasmania.
A very comfortable cruising boat that easily transforms into racing mode with an excellent sail wardrobe.
