2018 Beneteau First 24

A smart pocket cruiser fun day-sailer or an exciting club racer all-in-one, she keeps the First promise of modern performance sailing. She can easily sleep up to 4 persons but at the same time still delivers fun, exciting and modern sailing experience. A completely retractable keel gives you access to cruising spots you missed so far and a possibility to launch and recover your 24 on an ordinary slipway, opening new opportunities. She will take you on relaxed family cruising and exciting day-sailings and bring home trophies from club races.

First 24 will show her true nature under the sails. A flat, modern planing hull and a deep ballasted keel deliver a fast and fun sailing experience. The hull shape and the deep swinging keel result in high boat stability, and the twin rudders ensure complete control in any conditions. Because of the very light hull, she'll move and keep moving even in the slightest wind breezes. Thanks to a spacious cockpit design, you'll enjoy easy handling in a solo, double-handed or fully crewed setup whether you are relaxing on an afternoon sailing, battling on a club race, or cruising with your family. In any setup, she will surprise you with fun, comfortable and relaxed sailing.

Interior welcomes you with one big open-space saloon that can easily accommodate up to 4 adults, 2 on the bow V-berth and 2 on smart extendable side berths. It provides all essential amenities you can expect on a modern 7,30 m boat – crew bags for personal belongings, storage under the benches, indoor/outdoor tables and a dedicated place for the chemical toilet in the back of the saloon. For technical storage, there is a big space under the cockpit area, which is accessible from the outside. The sizeable and clean open-cockpit area offers an excellent ratio between comfort and sailing experience. Wide side benches, together with a stern bench, provide a great relaxing place; they also keep you connected and close to nature as the cockpit can easily welcome 4 or 5 sailors.
