Beneteau: First Series: First 40.7   

The First 40.7 combines a sleek and sophisticated racer with all the comforts of a luxurious cruiser. As the IMS World Champion and winner of other prestigious races including the Kenwood Cup and SORC, her Bruce Farr designed hull and powerful rig provide excellent performance. The First 40.7 is an excellent boat whether you're on the race course or if you just want to get to the next harbor a little more quickly than usual. Her extra-roomy cockpit features removable lockers that provide more space and less weight for racing.
