The Beneteau First 25.7 is a small easily handled cruiser with a surprisingly spacious interior.  Aloha is fast and fun to sail, is an excellent weekender, club racer and coastal cruiser with a modern layout.  She has a fantastic sail wardrobe plus a winter storage trailer - an enticing package. The lifting keel makes this an ideal boat for the shallow waters of the East Coast and beyond.
