BENETEAU FIRST 40

Race Charter

The Beneteau First 40 is a yacht that many would describe as the ultimate racer/cruiser. With its uncluttered deck layout, spacious cockpit and well fitted out interior, the First 40 offers you not just speed but comfort. The First 40 has proved itself over the years by notching up impressive race results and is a firm favourite for those looking to charter. Great for novice crews, but also a very popular boat with the more experienced teams looking to push for silverware. Winning races has always been very important, so this yacht has been continuously maintained to keep her in peak racing condition, with many deck hardware upgrades to keep her at the front of the fleet.

Coding and crew numbers

The unusual design of the interior layout of the First 40 offers maximum habitability. The shape and size of the saloon seats allow 1.95 m long berths. The wood table has two fold-down flaps and two possible positions. It can therefore seat six people in its usual setup and lowers to free space or extend the berths. She is MCA coded category 2 and ISAF coded to Cat 1 This yacht races with 11 crew and comes with an owner’s representative to help you get the most out of the yacht and help with any regatta or race arrangements.
