2011 Beneteau FIRST 40

Standard features

Designed by Bruce Farr, the Beneteau First 40 does an admirable job of blending a truly fast hull with a very stylish interior. The interior has been designed by Nauta Design and is finished in an Alpi blond oak which certainly adds a touch a class and comfort throughout the vessel. The First 40 is built somewhat conservatively with a solid hull and cored deck and accessible areas on deck covered in picot type non-slip surface.

The galley is immediately to port when you come below. It is well thought out, with stainless steel sink facing forward, a good sized icebox/fridge and a two-burner stove with oven and grill. The wraparound navigation station is opposite the galley and is the best feature of the interior. It includes a chart table and a desk, perfect for a computer, and plenty of room for radios and repeaters. The saloon includes settees port and starboard with storage above.

The First 40 continues the tradition of the First 40.7 and is a thoroughbred amongst racer/cruisers. The interior layout is modern and comfortable and yet the First 40 has had highly impressive racing results, showing a winning combination of style and performance.

The forward cabin offers a V-berth, a dressing seat and a small hanging locker. The head is to starboard and is surprisingly spacious. There are two equal double cabins aft and the saloon has one single berth to port and one to starboard. A center-line table opens up to allow seating for most of the crew.

The Beneteau First 40 is a boat that we can all aspire to and is designed for performance. This boat will appeal on many levels.
