2023 Atelier Interface - Beneteau Flow 19 - First 24 - First 18

The Flow 19 is a racer cruiser modeled after Beneteau First 18 and 24 sailboats. It has a much roomier and comfortable cabin than the 18 with ample storage and is considerably lighter, easier to rig and tow than a First 24. Custom built in France by a shipyard specializing in performance boats and composite structures, she is a fast and lightweight 19-footer, perfect for coastal cruising and day sailing. The 154lbs fully retractable swing keel paired with 2 x 132 lbs water ballasts provide a comfortable weight/ballast ratio. The hull and deck are built using wood/epoxy construction and rigid foam in the hull provides positive flotation. Critical parts such as rudders, swing keel and coach roof are molded infused composites. Exterior surfaces are covered with a durable layer of glass cloth and the hull gets an extra layer of protection. The absence of exposed wood minimizes maintenance and guarantees long lasting performance. The roomy cabin has 51 inches of headroom for comfortable seating and can accommodate up to four. At less than 1,000 lbs, the boat can be easily towed by a small car and thanks to her fully retractable keel , she can be launched from shallow ramps and beached anywhere. With the keel up and her flat bottom, she easily slips on a boat lift at your dock. The 3HP ePropulsion electric outboard, allows the boat to be also used as a silent and eco-friendly cabin cruiser to explore rivers and small lakes.
