Tankage

Enjoy first class cruising under sail or power. Kipper Kite is a Beneteau First Series performance cruiser that is both fast and comfortable. Sails 8-9 knots in 15-20 knots of wind. After a day of fun and sailing relax to music or DVD on the BOSE surround sound system. Sleep soundly on premium comfortable mattresses in the bright pear wood interior, open salon, excellent equipped European galley. Easy entry/exit to dinghy or stern tie dock via retracting transom swim step. The inviting spacious salon and 3 cabins/2heads welcome family and friends. Please treat her like your own with care and respect. We thank you for taking good care of our girl. ~David and Judy Spencer.
