On an ongoing mission to share its passion for sailing, Beneteau together with Seascape presents three new members of the 7th generation of First. First 24 and 27 are exciting sports cruisers, while First 14 is an innovative dinghy that brings fun and exciting sailing to everyone. 

In addition, a new product line of First SE – Seascape Edition, consisting of four models: 14SE, 18SE, 24SE and 27SE, was created. First SE is building on the legacy of Seascape boats and has the mission to bring modern one-design racing and adventure sailing in every sailor’s hands.

Introduction

Back in the eighties, Beneteau brought the second generation of Firsts to life and with it a wide range of sailing experiences to every kind of sailors. First range of cruiser-racers answered the needs of those looking to escape to the sea for family holidays or go racing with friends over the weekend. First Class one-design racers offered racing on a level playing field. And on top of that, Beneteau Wizz, an innovative dinghy designed by studio Finot, opened the door to sailing for everyone. 

First,  An iconic brand with 40 years of heritage

The signature features of the First range have not changed since its conception in 1977. First models have always been designed for sailors who enjoy club racing as much as cruising, bringing in one single product line the best of both worlds. In 2021 Beneteau is launching the new First 14, 24 and 27.  

New Firsts are drawing power from the same exhilarating hulls designed by talented Samuel Manuard as their SE cousins while offering simpler systems, aluminium masts, more comfortable interiors and cockpits geared towards daysailing and coastal cruising. Adapting to the different needs and expectations of a wide variety of users has always been a staple of the Beneteau brand.

First 14: a double-handed dinghy for everyone

First 14 building on the legendary Beneteau Wizz legacy introduces the modern world of fast and planing dinghies to novice sailors, but not on account of safety nor control of the boat. She is a light, fast and exciting dinghy designed with the sailor in mind. The promise of an accessible, easy-to-handle and, foremost, fun sailboat is fulfilled with the design, building technology and quality materials that also simplify maintenance. 

First 24: the perfect family daysailer

A smart pocket cruiser, fun day-sailor or an exciting club racer all-in-one, she is keeping the First promise of modern performance sailing. She can easily sleep up to 4 persons but at the same time still delivers fun, planning sailing experience. A completely retractable keel gives you access to cruising spots you missed so far and a possibility to launch and recover your 24 on an ordinary slipway, opening new opportunities.

Light and stable hull together with the aluminium rig, classic backstay and Dacron sails make it an ideal weekender and holiday cruiser. The open-space interior is based on huge sleeping surfaces and offers innovative solutions for the toilette, storage, and living space transformation. Winch operated deep composite/lead retractable keel, and removable rudder blades give you access to as little as 30cm of water while keeping the boat fast and stable while sailing.

First 27: an eight-meter cruiser for the new era

She is the fastest and safest cruiser of her size. First 27 delivers fun and modern planing sailing thanks to modern design and building technologies. Families and couples will love taking her cruising, she will transform a light or strong wind day into a great sailing experience, and she will win trophies on the club races.

Being true to her pocket Yacht description, the 27 offers inboard Yanmar engine, separated Marine toilet, galley, fridge and up to 6 berths. Coachroof and hull windows together with big deck hatches bring a generous amount of light into the saloon while cockpit benches and removable table make living outdoors comfortable. Aluminium rig with classic backstay and dacron sails simplify life with the 27.  On the other hand, her striking performance is ballanced by number of safety features, including the deep, 1.7-meter lead fixed keel, twin rudders, and insubmersibility volumes.

First se – seascape edition:   High-tech performance for everybody

First 14 se: pure sailing excitement

First 14 SE – Seascape Edition will answer more demanding dinghy sailors who want to push themselves further with an extra layer of performance and high-tech. She delivers the excitement, speed and fun of high-performance racing skiffs in a modern, accessible, safe and easy-to-handle package. The build quality and the high-tech materials allow you to push the boat in stronger winds, while additional sail area empowers the sailor in light wind conditions. The mast, boom and bowsprit are made of carbon fibre while upwind sails are built from the laminate cloth. With smart removable wheels and easy transport on the car-roof, she is the perfect answer to an active lifestyle

First 18 se: the enabler of growth

The 18 SE is a sailboat for people who want to start exploring sailing and grow into well-versed sailors weather in one design club racing or adventure sailing. With half a thousand of First 18 SE – Seascape Edition sold worldwide, she is a perfect sport boat for recreational sailors who would like to challenge themselves in well-established one-design class. Her wide flat hull and twin rudders cannot hide the offshore DNA which offers complete control even when planing at double-digit speeds. Boat handling and deck organisation are simplified as much as possible with a snuffer system, furling jib and carbon mast without backstays.  It has a small, but still large enough cabin to accommodate two adults. A large open cockpit small, and a small cabin with big double berth makes it an ideal sea camping platform. Fully retractable swinging keel and removable rudder blades will give you access to the shallowest bays. Being easily trailable and dismantled, she would fulfil racing ambitions in international one-design class as well as adventurous sea-camping.

First 24 se:  light, fast, simple and versatile

From expanding your comfort zone in solo adventure racing to taking your family on adventure holidays, the First 24 SE – Seascape Edition covers it all. She is a modern high-tech sport cruiser, delivering thrilling performance and an exciting sailing experience. Her carbon rig not only reduces the weight aloft but also removes the need for a backstay. This significantly simplifies manoeuvres and allows the boat to carry a sizeable square-top mainsail. This results in a combination of very high sail area / displacement ratio which allows sailors to have fun in lightest wind.  Being trailerable and slip-launchable together with the smart system to raise the mast even single-handed allows 24SE to change sailing regions with great ease. An important feature that enables its main strength –  the calendar of one-design events ranging from fully crewed windward-leeward to single-handed adventure races and the community of owners, gathered around them.

After the race, she will welcome you with a basic but smart interior, offering all cruising amenities for four persons. No matter the mode, she is a pure sailing sensation.

First 27 SE brings high-tech performance, events and community know-how from the cutting edge of offshore racing into the hands of recreational sailors. She delivers extraordinary sailing experience up to today reserved for professional racers. The Samuel Manuard designed all-weather, vacuum infused one-design offshore racer and adventure cruiser is built entirely in sandwich construction. That helped make her the only offshore one-design class sailboat than can be towed on the road without special permissions and allowed over 160 owners to gather on long-distance races around Europe and USA. Picking up some trophies like doublehanded Chicago-Mackinac and Silverrudder victories on the way. Sailors can challenge themselves on one-design long-distance races or enjoy fast adventure cruises in the best sailing spots. Marine toilet, up to 6 berths with separated front cabin, optional galley and a fridge combined with other practicalities make her an ultimate adventure

Benjamin Beneteau, shipwright, founded the Beneteau boatyard at Croix-de-Vie, France to build sailing trawlers. In 1964 Annette Beneteau Roux and her brother, Andre, granddaughter and grandson to Benjamin, diversified the company with the introduction of fiberglass sailing yachts. With the introduction of the FLETAN and the GUPPY, Beneteau took part in the 1965 Paris Boat Show for the first time, establishing its reputation for building seaworthy pleasure craft. The FIRST 30, designed by Andre Mauric and introduced in 1976, was the beginning of Beneteau’s very successful First series. It was chosen Boat of the Year at the Paris Boat Show and also won the first leg of the Figaro Single-Handed Race. In response to its expanding North American market, Beneteau opened a production facility in Marion, South Carolina. Within four years, Beneteau became one of the top three sailboat manufacturers in America. ***(In order to simplify things, all the Beneteau models, for which we have adequate information, have been listed under the ‘Beneteau’ section. Beneteau’s were often given differEnt names depending on which part of the world they were sold (and/or built). This, in addition to boats that were sold directly to charter companies which also used their own names.) Today, (2016) Beneteau is largest builder of sailboats in the world.

Get to know her.

Building on the legacy of the legendary BENETEAU Wizz, the First 14 reproduces the exhilarating worldof fast planing dinghies. Light, accessible, and easy to handle, the boat is perhaps best described as essentially fun, and the quality of her build simplifies maintenance and guarantees worry-free ownership.

First 14 introduces the modern world of fast and planing dinghies to novice sailors. She is a light, fast and exciting dinghy designed with the sailor in mind.

The promise of an accessible, easy-to-handle and, foremost, fun sailboat is fulfilled with the design, building technology and quality materials that also simplify maintenance.

NAVAL ARCHITECT : Samuel Manuard Design : Gigodesign Concept et R&D : Seascape

SAILING EXPERIENCE

The First 14 is an ideal entry-level dinghy for one or two sailors – a unique gateway to modern sailing that delivers an exciting sailing experience in an easy-to-handle and accessible package. With a furling and self-tacking jib, a wide and stable hull, and a spacious open cockpit free of tangled ropes, she guarantees endless fun on the water. She is designed to be sailed without a trapeze, and you can easily adjust the sail area depending on the wind strength or crew size without compromising sailing experience, thanks to two centerboard positions. With easy-to-maintain deck equipment, aluminum rig, and dacron sails, she guarantees hassle-free ownership.

Freedom on the water is enhanced by unique removable wheels that will allow you to explore distant shores without the need to return to your starting point. The most hidden, wild and beautiful beaches are now easily accessible like never before.

On land, she is light enough to be transported on a car roof, so you can take her with you anywhere. Thanks to her flat bench design, she can be easily transported when turned upside-down, and her dividable mast and equipment easily fit inside the hull, so you can still fill your trunk up with your family's belongings.

Small Boats = Big Fun

True to their continuous mission of sharing a passion for sailing, BENETEAU and Seascape are proud to present three new members of the 7th generation of FIRST . The First 27 and First 24 are the most exciting sport cruisers on the market today, while the First 14 is an innovative and versatile dinghy that will deliver joy and thrills to every type of sailor. In addition, a new First SE line (short for Seascape Edition) will consist of four models - 14SE , 18SE , 24SE and 27SE – which will build on the Seascape legacy to bring modern one-design racing and adventure sailing into the hands of everyone. 

Over the past five decades the FIRST name has been a fundamental part of the BENETEAU spirit, offering sailors true performance boats that were also suitable for cruising, and by extension, offering a more versatile interface between sailor and sea. First class one-design racing boats offered the possibility of competing on a level playing field, and the BENETEAU Wizz, a truly innovative Finot-designed sailing dinghy, opened the door to sailing on even the smallest of budgets.   40 years later BENETEAU and Seascape joined forces to reinvent First for a new sailing era defined by accelerated innovation and progress. With a clear focus on the user and the user experience, BENETEAU and Seascape have created two distinct ranges, First and First SE , to meet the needs of two specific types of sailors.

FIRST, 40 YEARS OF ICONIC BRAND HERITAGE

The signature features of the FIRST range have not changed since its conception in 1977 – these boats have always been designed for sailors who enjoy club racing as much as cruising, joining into one cohesive product line the proverbial best of both worlds. Today, BENETEAU takes another step in this direction with the launch of the new FIRST 14 , FIRST 24 and FIRST 27.

These new boats draw their power from the same exhilarating hulls as their SE cousins (drawn by the hugely talented Samuel Manuard) yet offer simpler systems, aluminum masts, and comfortable interiors and cockpits geared towards daysailing and coastal cruising. True to the spirit of the BENETEAU brand, they represent a drive towards tuning the boats to the needs and expectations of the widest variety of sailors.

FIRST 14: A DOUBLE HANDED DINGHY FOR EVERYONE

Building on the legacy of the legendary BENETEAU Wizz, the First 14 reproduces the exhilarating world of fast and planning dinghies. Light, accessible, and easy to handle , the boat is also fundamentally fun, and the quality of her build simplifies maintenance and guarantees worry-free ownership.

Her design allows for a seamless on-water transition from single handed to double handed mode. A wide and stable hull offers safety and comfort, as well an open space cockpit where movement is quick and easy. Her deck fittings, hardware and sails are both simple and quality-driven, providing the sailor with easy ownership and maintenance. Removable wheels are ideal to quickly launch and retrieve the boat, ideal when you take her to unexplored shores.

FIRST 24: THE PERFECT FAMILY DAYSAILER

She’s a smart pocket cruiser, a joyful day-sailor or a solid club racer – whichever way you choose to use your First 24 , she is equally ready, with sleeping accommodations for up to four wrapped in an ultramodern performance hull. A completely retractable keels gives you unfettered access to the shallowest cruising grounds and the possibility of quickly launching and retrieving the boat from any ordinary ramp. Her light and stable hull, alu rig, classic backstay and dacron sails make her the ideal holiday cruiser, within operational reach of even the most inexperienced sailors.

The open space interior is articulated around enormous sleeping areas and offers innovative and ergonomic solutions for storage, comfort, and day-to-day use. The winch-operated deep composite/lead retractable keel and removable rudders allow for movement in as little as two feet of water, yet offer unrivaled stability and speed while underway.

FIRST 27: A CRUISER FOR THE NEW ERA

Flagship of the new FIRST line, the First 27 is unquestionably the fastest and safest cruiser in this size range. Her modern design and state-of-the-art manufacturing delivers the magic of planing sailing to families, couples, and solo sailors alike, wherever the cruising ground and whatever the weather conditions. A true pocket yacht, she has an inboard Yanmar diesel , a working galley, a real head and plenty of storage, as well as room for up to six people for overnight adventures. Large windows and portholes provide for natural light and excellent ventilation, and her comfortable cockpit, complete with comfortable seating and a removable table, is the ideal platform for outdoor activities, both underway and at the dock.

In terms of the rigging and hardware, her alu rig , traditional backstay and dacron sails are balanced by a deep, 5'7" lead fixed keel and twin rudders . The result is a boat that is simple to use and own yet makes few – if any - concessions to performance . With unsinkable compartmentalized volumes, this is also a boat you can take well offshore without any feeling of worry. 

FIRST SE - SEASCAPE EDITION

High-tech performance for everyone.

FIRST SE – or Seascape Edition – builds on the Seascape heritage and empowers sailors to expand their comfort zone. The SE boats bring the high-tech performance and unique community spirit of Seascape into the hands of even the most novice of sailors.

FIRST 14 SE: PURE SAILING EXCITEMENT

The First 14SE is the boat for performance and quality oriented dinghy sailors seeking to push their own limits. She delivers the excitement, speed and fun of serious racing in a package that is modern, accessible, practical and safe . The build quality and high-tech materials allow you to push the boat into stronger winds, while additional sail area options will also guarantee thrills in even the lightest of airs. The mast, boom and bowsprit are carbon fiber; the sails are laminate; the combination will make you a speed machine, whether you’re out for a leisurely early morning windward run or pushing your limits on a big-wind afternoon. Her removable wheels and overall weight – which allows her to be transported on the roof of a car – make it the ideal answer to an active lifestyle.

FIRST 18 SE: THE ENABLER

The First 18 SE is a sailboat for people looking to explore the fundamentals of sailing or looking to grow into more experienced sailors through club racing or adventure sailing. With over a thousand hulls sold worldwide, she is a perfect sport boat for recreational sailors who would like to challenge themselves in a well-established one-design class. Her broad, flat hull and twin rudders deliver near-perfect control of the boat even when planing at double-digit speeds. Sail handling and deck organization are simplified as much as possible with a snuffer system, furling jib and carbon mast with no backstays. The cabin is large enough to accommodate two adults and offers a convenient option for storage; with her open cockpit, she makes for an ideal sea camping platform.

A fully retractable swing keel and removable rudders will provide you with access to the shallowest of waters, while allowing for an incredibly quick and easy trailer launch and retrieval procedure. 

FIRST 24 SE: LIGHT, FAST, SIMPLE AND VERSATILE

From expanding your comfort zone in solo adventuring to family coastal cruising , the First 24 SE can do it all – and then some. She is a modern high-tech sport cruiser , capable of delivering thrilling performance in a versatile package that is easy to use and maintain. Her carbon rig not only reduces weight aloft but removes the need for a backstay, which significantly simplifies maneuvers and also allows the boat to carry a sizable square-top mainsail.

The result is a combination of very high sail area/displacement ratio which allows sailors to have fun in even the lightest of winds. She is of course trailerable , and her smart mast-raising system allows a single user to launch and go, allowing her access to a wide variety of cruising and racing grounds.

When the day is over, she will welcome you into her basic but smart interior, adding the overnight dimension to all of your dreams of adventure.

FIRST 27 SE: NO LIMITS

The First 27 SE brings the cutting edge of offshore racing into the hands of recreational sailors – the performance, the technology, the community, and of course, the exhilaration. As an all-weather, one-design offshore racer, her Samual Manuard-designed hull delivers an extraordinary sailing experience heretofore reserved for only the smallest group of professionals.
