What Is a Beneteau First 30?
The new BENETEAU First 30 is a celebration of performance, comfort, and innovation—a perfect fit for the next generation of sailors. She delivers the sensation of planing, easy handling, safety and cruising comfort – a unique combination of qualities befitting the modern successor to the legendary 1977 First 30.
Welcome to a groundbreaking new category of sailboats: the planing cruisers!
Sailing experience
Few sensations compare to the moment when a sailboat begins to plane—an exhilarating "lift-off" as the boat breaks free from the chains of displacement speed. Until now, this experience required advanced sailing skills. However, with the all-new BENETEAU First 30, the joy of planing becomes effortless and accessible to all, whether you’re an experienced racer or a newcomer to sailing.
The deck and generously sized cockpit layout were designed with two goals: minimizing clutter to create a spacious and comfortable chill-out area while ensuring outstanding sailing ergonomics. Two cockpit layouts are available: one for day sailors and cruisers and another for racers.
