Experience the thrill of sailing with the Beneteau First 27.7, a legendary 8.3-meter cruiser-racer designed for spirited sailing and club racing. Built between 2002 and 2015 by Bénéteau, this sailboat combines performance with comfort, featuring a lifting keel that adjusts from 2.2m (7ft) down to 0.65m (2ft) up for easy access to shallow anchorages.

Well equipped: 2-reef mainsail, furling genoa, asymmetrical spinnaker (+ Code zero on furler as an option). Boat quickly performing in all weathers, stiff under sail thanks to its bulbous keel at 2.20m.
