2008 Beneteau First 40

With an outstanding level of equipment for a production cruiser/cruiser, the First 40 has won fame for a unique international record of achievements in IRC, as well as ORC.  A reference in the forty foot class, this boat does not compromise on safety and yet its level of comfort makes living on board very pleasant.

Designed to lead the race, the First 40 supplements its choice of performance with solutions that provide crews with a high level of comfort. The First 40 users and spinnaker retractable carbon bow sprit making the use of an asymmetric spinnaker much simpler.

Both light and strong, the equipment has been chosen for its high level of performance: carbon mast, rod rigging, fibre adjustable backstay, rigid boom vang, tilting composite steering wheel.
