Originally designed as the Seascape 18 in Slovenia, the Beneteau First 18SE is among the most popular of the Seascape designs, all now brought in house under the Beneteau brand.
This almost new example is in top condition, boasting a wide, flat and stable hull; ballasted swinging keel; gennaker snuffer system; furling jib and minimised deck controls all enable an easy-to-handle and exciting planing and sailing experience. She would fulfil racing ambitions in international one-design class as well as adventurous sea-camping.
The boat was also customized with a centralized electrical system with 2 compact batteries powering an electric motor (86 pounds thrust with 36 inch shaft), internal led lighting (clear and ambiance) and USB connectors and 12V adapter. System also includes a solar panel controller for charging the batteries with portable solar panel(s)
Equipment: Boat is in top condition.

Fulfill racing ambitions in international one-design class as well as adventurous cruising.
This particular boat was customized with a centralized electrical system with 2 compact batteries powering a Newport Vessels NV-Series electric motor (86 pounds thrust with 36 inch shaft), internal led lighting (clear and ambiance) and USB connectors and 12V adapter. System also includes a solar panel controller for charging the batteries with portable solar panel(s)
Included is a fully renovated trailer (electrical and wheels) with mag wheels. Comes with an attach lock, 2 heavy duty chain locks, and a spare tire.

The theoretical maximum speed that a displacement hull can move efficiently through the water is determined by it's waterline length and displacement. It may be unable to reach this speed if the boat is underpowered or heavily loaded, though it may exceed this speed given enough power. Read more.
Classic hull speed formula:
Hull Speed = 1.34 x √LWL
A more accurate formula devised by Dave Gerr in The Propeller Handbook replaces the Speed/Length ratio constant of 1.34 with a calculation based on the Displacement/Length ratio.
Max Speed/Length ratio = 8.26 ÷ Displacement/Length ratio.311
Hull Speed = Max Speed/Length ratio x √LWL
A measure of the power of the sails relative to the weight of the boat. The higher the number, the higher the performance, but the harder the boat will be to handle. This ratio is a "non-dimensional" value that facilitates comparisons between boats of different types and sizes. Read more.
SA/D = SA ÷ (D ÷ 64)2/3
A measure of the stability of a boat's hull that suggests how well a monohull will stand up to its sails. The ballast displacement ratio indicates how much of the weight of a boat is placed for maximum stability against capsizing and is an indicator of stiffness and resistance to capsize.
Ballast / Displacement * 100
A measure of the weight of the boat relative to it's length at the waterline. The higher a boat’s D/L ratio, the more easily it will carry a load and the more comfortable its motion will be. The lower a boat's ratio is, the less power it takes to drive the boat to its nominal hull speed or beyond. Read more.
D/L = (D ÷ 2240) ÷ (0.01 x LWL)³
This ratio assess how quickly and abruptly a boat’s hull reacts to waves in a significant seaway, these being the elements of a boat’s motion most likely to cause seasickness. Read more.
Comfort ratio = D ÷ (.65 x (.7 LWL + .3 LOA) x Beam1.33)
This formula attempts to indicate whether a given boat might be too wide and light to readily right itself after being overturned in extreme conditions. Read more.
CSV = Beam ÷ ³√(D / 64)
in 2018 Beneteau purchased a controlling stake in the Slovenian builder Seascape, bringing all Seascape models into the fold of its First range.
Asym SA: 32 sqm / 344.45 sq ft
Bowsprit: 1.4m / 4.59 ft
Displacement above = light.
Short keel weight: 145 kg / 320 lbs.
