Bénéteau First 40 (sailboat) for sale

CONSTRUCTIONThis Beneteau First 40 is a unique project of Italian yacht designer Alessandro Paganini and sailing designer Flavio Formosa. For this yacht, a new 2700 kg T-keel project was developed giving the yacht a draft of 2.6 meters. The rudder is also modified according to a specially designed template - area and length of the rudder have been increased, for better and clear handling. Steering wheel is also made of carbon. The yacht has a carbon mast with a hydraulic mastjack and hydraulic backstay tension The yacht is also equipped with a carbon spinnaker boom and carbon bowsprit, which allows you to use both symmetrical and asymmetric sails in long offshore races. All lines changed to Gottifredi Maffioli for 100% performance. The underwater part of the hull is brought "to zero" by special templates for ideal streamlining and covered with Speedy Carbonium racing antifouling. The exhaust was transferred from the side to the stern, also to improve streamlining. The interior equipment was modified, the bow cabin turned into an easily convertible sail store, bow water tank was removed, lockers and doors were replaced with textiles, wooden floors were replaced with lightweight plastic sandwich panels, the gas stove has been replaced with a lightweight one. All electronics on board such as a racing computer, autopilot, repeaters on the mast, windex were replaced in 2021 with NKE items. Modifying the yacht, we did not forget about the comfort on board. All mattresses have been replaced with new ones made from Sunbrella, Webasto heater installed, electric toilet, 150 watt inverter, all lights and water taps replaced. The cockpit has a special non-slip coating. The yacht has category 2 MCA and category 1 ISAF
