First 50 A 'Best Boat'

Beneteau's First 50 has been named as a 'Best Boat' by US-based SAIL magazine

SAIL's Best Boats program is designed to seek out and acknowledge true innovation and forward thinking. The awards are based on firsthand knowledge of the new boats seen at various shows.

"Best Boats is not a contest in which there are winners and losers, but rather a celebration of true advancements in every aspect of sailboat production, from technology to design and execution. Our goal is to discover and reward the ideas and refinements that propel sailing into the 21st century," said the magazine’s Bill Springer.

According to SAIL magazine, the First 50 has 'an aggressive, modern look above decks and below'.

The First 50 is set to arrive on Australian shores in March.
