first class 8 owner looking for

[jean20847]

Since some time I own a BENETEAU FIRST CLASS 8.The ship has fantastic sailing properties.But I do not yet know it very well.I am very curious to find some reviews and experiences of other users, as well as a copy of the original manual of the ship. I could not find the First Class 8 in the list of forums of this site.If someone can tell where to find an owners-forum or -website or has a manual or brochure, will you please let me know?Jean van WijkThe HagueThe Netherlandsjvwijk@planet.nl

Beneteau First Class Eight

Jean,Try this website: http://www.finot.com/bateaux/batproduction/beneteau/firstclass8/fstclass8_ang.htmWith nearly 1000 of these boats built over 12 year span, there should be some owners out there, probably on your side of the pond. There are several photos on this site and a few appear to have 130 135 genoas. The Beneteau brochure also indicates an optional larger genoa in the rigging illustrations. Also try google search. There appears to be numerous sites about this boat, both French and English.Jon
