While the First 50 was created as a performance racer/cruiser, it is our impressive collaboration with acclaimed conceptual designers that brings such a modern touch in her amenities, making her a delight to sail even when off the racecourse. It is for the quiet moments that special care was given to all the creature comforts on board. The graceful design of the bathing platform, the pervasive sense of light and space below deck and the generous use of light wood, nickel-plated light fixtures and beautiful dark stained, matte finished sole create an ultra-contemporary result. The new jewel in the Beneteau crown of fine yachts, the First 50 was the winner of its class in the 2007 JP Morgan Round the Island Race. Sail Magazine declared her an "Editors Choice for Excellence in Accomodations Design" for their "Best Boats Program" writing, "the style doesn't diminish functionality at sea. This is an excellent example of a fresh, modern look at accommodations." Dramatic interior styling and exceptional performance - a combination sure to excite both the performance enthusiast and the connoisseur of fine yachts!
