2004 Beneteau First 40.740ft

PRELIMINARY LISTING. MORE PHOTOS AND DETAILS COMING SOON.  

Beneteau’s First 40.7 was introduced in 1999, after more than two years in planning and design by the Farr Yacht Design team in Annapolis. The 40.7 quickly gained respect on the race course and is still a hot selling new boat.   The design is typical of performance-oriented, IMS-influenced designs of the late 1990s and features a relatively narrow entry forward to enhance upwind performance. The maximum beam is carried well aft with flat, straight runs for speed and power downwind. Length overall is 39’ 3", waterline length is 34’-10" and beam is 12’-3". The standard version of the 40.7 draws 7’-9",   While the deck layout favors the racing sailor, the interior of the 40.7 seems to favor the cruiser or round-the-buoys racer. The layout is conventional with a v-berth forward followed by a starboard head and port hanging locker. In the main cabin there are mirror image settees with a drop-leaf centerline table followed by a small galley to port and a large navigation station to starboard. There are mirror image quarter berth cabins aft with double berths. Beneteau has thoughtfully split the berth cushions lengthwise so that each can be separated by a lee cloth for extended racing or cruising offshore.
