All about First 40.7 model
Most of today's sailboats are sold as "race-cruisers". This pleasing and appealing term is unfortunately often overused... No, a floating caravan isn't a race-cruiser, but a Beneteau First 40.7 is.
The use is clear from the name, and in that order. They are designed firstly for racing and secondly for cruising! Designed by Farr Yacht Design, a firm specialising in yachts, the First 40.7 does the term proud. During a lengtny career - 11 years between 1997 and 2008 - 650 units have been launched. It's like a real racehorse. It's light and has a lot of sail (6,900 kg for 100 m2 of sail area upwind) and at 12.17 m long and 3.78 m wide, the Beneteau First 40.7 has all the characteristics you would see on a racing yacht. With stiff standing rigging (rods) with 3 sets of spreaders, a hydraulic backstay, adjustable genoa hauling points from the cockpit, removable cockpit lockers to free up space for the grinders, and a steering console with a footrest, means it was a real racer that won the Sydney-Hobart!
But to reduce the Beneteau First 40.7 to a simple sports boat wouldn't be fair. She is a 40 footer that is also perfectly habitable for cruising, with her two cabins and her welcoming saloon, her chart table, her galley and her two bathrooms. A skirt gives you easy access to the water. A perfect cruising yacht to smash it out of the park on the water!
First 40.7: Organize the purchase of your boat
How to buy your boat?
Becoming a boat owner is a wonderful dream come true. To get there, be patient and do your research daily because new announcements arrive every day and the silhouette of your future boat may be hiding there! Band of Boats highlights the location of the boat and its key characteristics, and also offers you similar models to broaden your search scope. Once you've found the boat model that meets all of your criteria, all you need to do is message the seller directly from the listing.
Need to transport your boat?
Remember to organize the transport of your boat to its home port. If it is a small boat, you can manage the transport yourself by purchasing a suitable trailer.

Do not hesitate to ask the seller to manage the transport arrangements for the boat.
