The elegance of the First 31.7 can be seen from the clean lines of the hull and deck: the length on waterline and gently sloping “whistle” coachroof are emphasised by the solid mahogany footchock, which makes manoeuvring more comfortable while adding aesthetic appeal to this magnificent sailing yacht.

Monohull boats are vessels with just one hull, as the name itself suggests. They can be monohull <a href="https://theboatdb.com/boats/type/sail">sailboats</a> or <a href="https://theboatdb.com/boats/type/power">powerboats</a>, which means they can be powered by an engine or by the wind. In addition, monohull boats can have a high level of luxury on board and can therefore be referred to as monohull yachts. At TheBoatDB you can look into monohull boats and explore their features. In addition, you can filter your search through monohull sailboat manufacturers and explore all models available on our site. Compare all models on our website from the comfort of your home.
