Beneteau First 42s7

The Beneteau yard has commissioned two renowned designers for the concept of this First 42s7. Bruce Farr is responsible for the excellent sailing qualities. His designs are not only regular regatta winners but also very user-friendly.  Top designer Philippe Starck signed for a pleasant stay on board.

The boat that we offer has sailed several regattas during her first three years. Amongst her victories is a first place during the famous Cowes Week. Hull, keel and rudder were shaped for optimal performance. In 1998 the mast was replaced as was the rodrigging. On the mastfoot large Maxview clocks are placed so that the crew also can read the instruments. Around the cockpit are six Lewmar winches to where the sheets and halyards are being lead. The deklayout is very well-considered and synoptic. The blocks and stoppers are placed so, that the many trim lines are within reach for the crew. The vast set of sails exist from Mylar quality sails of North Sails. For broad-reach courses there are two different cut spinnakers.

Once in the saloon the boat especially has a tranquil and spacious atmosphere, much because light materials have been used. There is a good balance between beauty and functionality. Chique design details such as lamps and windows catch the eye. The finishing of woodwork is fancy by the many contours. The saloon has cozy sitting corner with modern white upholstery and an oval table in the middle. To port side the galley has been placed with double sink, cooker and furnace and fridge. In the kitchen there is much cupboard space for food storage. In the bow is a spacious owners cabin with bathroom, completely with large mirrors, a sink and much cupboard space. In the stern there are two more large double cabins. On the sides of the saloon entrance you find left a large head and right the navigation corner. The engine is accessible for service by the large removable stairs .

All in all this Beneteau First42s7 can be considered a very nice design. Insides very pleasant to stay on, outsides much fun to sail her. We gladly invite you to come and see her for yourself in Lelystad. Please make an appointment at info@wwy.nl.
