Sudoeste

Sudoeste is our Beneteau First 44.7. We purchased her in the south of Spain in August 2012. Since then we've sailed more than 20, 000NM in the Med, across the Atlantic, through the Caribbean, across the South Pacific, to Fiji where we're currently cruising. We plan to be back in NZ November this year. You can find out more about our adventures at www.facebook.com/First44.7Sudoeste.
