BENETEAU First 24
The BENETEAU First 24 will show her true nature under sail. A flat, modern planing hull and a deep ballasted keel deliver a fast and fun sailing experience. The hull shape and the deep swinging keel result in high stability, and the twin rudders ensure complete control in any condition. Because of the very light hull, she’ll keep moving even under light wind. Thanks to a spacious cockpit design, you’ll enjoy easy handling in a solo, double-handed, or fully crewed setup, whether you are relaxing on an afternoon sail, partaking in a club race, or cruising with your family. In any case, she will surprise you with fun, comfortable and relaxed sailing.
The interior provides one big open-space salon that can easily accommodate up to 4 adults, 2 on the bow V-berth and 2 on smart extendable side berths. She provides all the essential amenities you can expect on a modern 24ft boat – crew bags for personal belongings, storage under the benches, indoor/outdoor tables, and a dedicated place for the chemical toilet in the back of the salon. Additional storage space under the cockpit area is accessible from the exterior as well.
