The new First 30 is a blend of performance, comfort, and innovation, ideally designed for the new generation of sailors. It combines the pleasure of planing, exceptional maneuverability, the safety, and comfort of cruising – a unique mix of qualities that make it a worthy successor to the legendary First 30 from 1977.
Discover a new category of sailboats: the planing cruisers!
First first of all, The First 53 responds to a precise load book, of being the new fast and luxurious cruise sailboat of reference. Two years of gestation will have been necessary for excellence to touch the water and respond to the demand of the most demanding shipowners in terms of sensations on the wheel, speed and life on board at anchor.
Building on its experience and legacy, BENETEAU launches a new category of sailboat: the planing cruiser. It reinvents small boat sailing by combining exceptional performance with unparalleled ease of use, while offering the comfort of a fully equipped cruising sailboat.
Thanks to its modern racing hull, sleek design, well-equipped deck hardware, and properly sized winches, it is easy to handle by all crew members, regardless of their physical strength. The brand-new First 30 offers the pleasure of planing to experienced sailors from various backgrounds, while also providing them with a new way of life under sail.
Discover the pleasure of fast gliding, a sensation once reserved for professional sailors, windsurfers and motorboats with glider helmets. With the First 30, you will enjoy this pleasure every day in moderate or even strong wind conditions. Whether sail as a family or if you participate in regattas with crew, you will glide effortlessly on the water.
Under deck, a reinvention of all the essential features for the cruise is combined with simplicity to create a pleasant and comfortable experience on board. On deck, the spacious bathtub comes in two versions: an elegant and comfortable relaxation area for the cruise, or a ergonomic configuration and practical for the regatta.
Going fast is only fun if you feel safe and keep control of your boat. The First 30 offers exceptional stability and securitythanks to its modern design, robust construction and two rudders. This guarantees effortless handling and total control. Although it is only 30 feet long, its category A design makes it an ocean sailboat and attests to its reliability and navigability.
SENSATIONS TO SAILBOAT
It is difficult to find sensations comparable to the moment when a sailboat begins to glide, the moment the boat takes off and is freed from the limitations of displacement. Until now, this experience required advanced knowledge of navigation. However, with the new BENETEAU First 30, the pleasure of planing becomes something simple and accessible to everyone, whether you are an experienced sailor or a beginner.
The deck and bathtub, of generous proportions, have been designed with two objectives in mind: to optimize the space to create a spacious and comfortable relaxation area, while guaranteeing exceptional navigation ergonomics. There are two bathtub configurations available: one for recreational sailors and another for sailors. In the cruising version, the crow's foot of the main sail and the German-swing system allow you to completely clear the floor of the bathtub, while large winches facilitate the control of this main one.
The regatta version includes a larger car with a fine neckline adjustment system, creating a comfortable maneuvering area for the crew.
LIFE ON BOARD
As expected from a BENETEAU sailboat, the First 30 has a distinctive, minimalist but comfortable interior, which offers spacious accommodation for four people in two cabins.
Among its most outstanding features we find a generous cabin and bunk beds in the living room that easily rival those of its older brother, the First 36. The same can be said of the large kitchen, which includes a gas stove with gimbal, an optional refrigerator and a free height of 1.85 m.
The interior also has a bathroom with marine toilet and endless innovative and ingenious solutions, such as folding magnetic doors, removable textile cabinets and a folding kitchen extension.
In summary, the First 30 is an authentic planing cruiser that offers everything that families or couples need within a "home on water".
