Overview
"Dutchess" is a very popular Beneteau 285 Model. She has a 3' 11" wing keel draft that is "kindly" to Florida's shallow waters. This vessel has been well cared for by the owner and offers great comforts to next buyer.
The 6' 2" headroom in the cabin plus the many extras that are included make this a great buy. She has good sailing performance and the wide side decks and double life lines make her a safe and fun to sail vessel.
