About 2007 BENETEAU FIRST 45
A rare opportunity has arisen to purchase this highly spec'd and very successful racing yacht.
At the time of writing, FASTBACK has 2 races remaining before the owner wishes to sell; the 2017 Raja Muda in Malaysia and The King's Cup in Thailand, where she will be crewed by the Australian Olympic Laser Team.
Previously raced in Sydney under the name BALANCE, the boat is now berthed in Phuket.
She comes with a huge sail locker (12) and carbon fibre mast, boom, pole, wheels, rudder keeping her as light as possible, and has an extended keel with a draft of 2.9m.
She is used as a cruiser too with all the normal comforts.
Very reasonably priced, as the owner has decided to call it a day from the racing circuit.
