2023 Beneteau First 278m

 Beneteau First 27 wins 2022 Boat of the Year!

The Beneteau First 27 has won Cruising World's prestigious "Boat Of The Year" award in the Pocket Cruiser/Daysailer category.The fastest and safest cruiser in this size range!

The award-winning Beneteau First 27 is currently at our docks and will be on display at the Seattle Boat Show - inside at the Lumen Field Event Center.

The First 27 was designed for offshore racing by naval architect Sam Manuard, taking inspiration from his own racing experience. Featuring a hard chine as far as the stem, vertical sides, a good beam on the waterline and twin rudders, she has all the makings of a robust competitive boat. Her hull shape, carbon rig, and deep draught lead keel, combine to make here remarkably stable. With her keel taking up 50% of her weight, she is an incredibly powerful yacht. The cockpit is spacious and comfortable, and has two foot chocks over the full length. With a manually operated hydraulic jack to lift the keel, the First 27 is easy to tow.
