The Beneteau First 30 is the smallest model in the award-winning cruiser racer range from the French shipyard, whose name is synonymous with yachting.
At 10.33-metres long, with a light displacement of just 3150 kilograms, the new First 30 is launching a new category of yachts – the planing cruiser, where performance and comfort co-exist for safe, smooth sailing.
The new First 30 is designed to plane, allowing sailors to experience that incredible moment when you’re at full speed and the hull lifts and you’re gliding across the water.
Dynamic and quick, everything is smoother and more responsive to create a unique and unforgettable racing experience, even for smaller crews, while the clear cockpit and simple rig make navigation fun and intuitive for effortless cruising.
By choosing either the cruising or racing layout, the First 30 can be perfectly matched to the needs of each skipper. For example, the cruising version features large winches and ergonomic controls to simplify handling, while the racing version includes a mainsail traveller for more accurate trimming.
Below deck, the boat has capacity for four people divided between two cabins which are complemented by a comfortable saloon, fully fitted galley and smart storage spaces.
