A Beneteau First 32s5 cruiser-racer has come on the Irish boats for sale market in Bantry, Co Cork, with an asking price of €19,900.

The 1988-built yacht, named Mischief, is described by owner Jerry Thomas as “well looked after” and suitable for both club racing and family cruising.

The six-berth yacht has previously raced successfully in club competition and cruised extensively along Ireland’s south-west coast.

Mischief measures 32ft overall with a beam of 10ft 10in and a draft of 5ft 7in.

Her sail inventory includes a mainsail with three reef points, a furling genoa, a No.3 blade jib and two spinnakers.

Navigation equipment includes Raymarine ST60 instruments for wind, multi-function, tridata and compass functions, along with a bulkhead compass and Shipmate RS8000 VHF radio.

Additional onboard systems include a solar panel and controller, battery monitor, electric and manual bilge pumps, gas detector with solenoid valve and LED cabin and navigation lighting.

Accommodation comprises a double berth in the forward cabin, two single berths in the main saloon and a double aft berth to port.

The interior features mahogany and alloy trim, an L-shaped galley with a three-burner gimballed cooker and oven, double sinks and pressurised cold water.

Power is provided by an 18hp two-cylinder Volvo Penta diesel engine driving a shaft with folding propeller and rope cutter.
