US, I think

My 1990 Beneteau First 285 was built in the US, I believe. I have been all through the documentation, and everything is consistent with the factory in Marion, SC.

First 285 Questions

I have a 19910 285 and have been searching for someone I can talk to about a series of questions I have on the sail plan, water system, and sailing tips. How long have you had your 285?

I have owned Blue Ace for 2.5 years. Been doing a lot of maintenance to get her in shape to be proud of. Long way from bristol, but not bad. I have been into almost every system on the boat during this time... By the way, I have gotten a lot of good advice from this site... Also from the archives. Hopefully, you will too.
