Winner in 2010 of the Rolex Sydney Hobart, Spi Ouest France, Cowes Week and Voiles de Saint-Tropez, the First 40 has a unique international record of achievements and, over 2 seasons, has built up a solid reputation. To increase her performance further still and prolong this success, Beneteau now offers the Club Racer version of the First 40 for the same price. This offer should draw the attention of the most experienced racers. Delivered ready to race, this configuration offers a newly manufactured hull* equipped with a new extra deep draught keel. In terms of propulsion, you will appreciate her regatta mast with three spreaders together with racing rigging and spinnaker rigging complete with carbon spinnaker pole. *Monolithic hull.

In summary, CW’s BOTY judges were unanimously impressed with the boat’s clever design solutions, equipment selection, and the overall fit and finish. Foremost, it’s a First, and that means fast. This boat will be feared at the starting line, and an active and exciting racing class should develop around it. Also, with a LOA of just over 41 feet, the First 40 falls within the most popular range of racing sizes, yet remains relatively affordable and manageable as a cruising platform.
