Beneteau First 235 Scantlings

Below you will find actual 1986 Beneteau F235 Scantlings sent from Beneteau France.

Scantlings are simply the dimensions of the structural parts of a vessel and in this case, these were the originals taken from the First 23, all still in French. Although many of the specs can be deduced, I am hoping to get a complete translation up in document/text form soon. The material below was taken from .pdf to .gif images and cleaned up in the process. Thanks to Gerard Corbino for these documents. Note the different displacements for the fin, wing, and drop keel models. The corresponds to the different weights of the KEELS as noted below. The wing keel is about 110lbs heavier than the Fin.
