Charter in style on a Beneteau First 38S5 designed by Philippe Stark

***Bareboat Charter Only*** Sailing out of South Beach Harbor, this '91 Beneteau First 38s5 is a retired racing cruiser living her best life in the San Francisco Bay. She's responsive and fast, fun to sail, and can be single handed by experienced sailors (I single hand regularly, all running rigging runs to the cockpit). Equipped with a battened cruising laminate main sail, two reef points, and a dutchman, she's easy to manage in the blustery winds of SF. She's got multiple head sails, but charters with a jib on a roller furler. I've got her set up to be fun and fast to sail in 15-25 kts (I've had her out in 40kts, that just wasn't much fun). With an inboard turbo diesel she's nimble when docking. She's the owners layout with two heads and two cabins, full draft (6ft), teak cockpit, and looks great in instagram photos :). She is a sport racing cruiser and leans more on sport than cruiser with a more narrow beam. She's rated for way more people than what is comfortable unless you are racing. I wouldn't sail with more than 6 people on her. Please include a brief sailing resume when booking (experience level, certifications, etc.). I may require a quick checkout with you depending on your experience. You must have sailing experience to take my boat out. If you just want to sit in the harbor let me know and we can work something out.
