Made for cruising

The First range makes no compromises when it comes to safety on board. The choice of materials and production processes are all based on the latest technologies to combine strength with light weight and ergonomic simplicity. The transom, cockpit, deck and layout have been carefully designed for safe sailing and maximum working space for the crew, while the equipment and deck hardware emphasise ease of sailing and handling.

Designed with care

The new First series is an eye-catching range of boats. They attract attention on the water and at the jetty. The talent of their designers is particularly evident in the sleek, clean lines of these fast racer-cruisers.

Made for pleasure

The First series is all about speed, elegance and comfort. Styled by some of the big names in contemporary design, their interior concept redefines the standard for a relaxed and refined sailing experience. The materials, natural light, living spaces and furnishings all come together to create a distinctly contemporary feel.

Programmed to lead the field

The First range remains true to its impressive pedigree. Every design parameter is tailored to high performance requirements. The hull shape is designed to maximise waterline length when underway, resulting in a lively and exciting speed curve. First racing yachts are fully specified to compete at the start line of prestigious events and claim their place at the front of the field.

Customers specify their own boat according to their wishes and type of sailing: every FIRST is unique!
