Used First 18 (Beneteau) Sailboats for Sale

The Beneteau First 18 stands as a testament to Beneteau's vision in the late 1970s: to deliver a compact, yet capable sailboat blending racing prowess with basic cruising amenities. Produced from 1978 to 1981, this diminutive monohull, with a length overall of just over 18 feet, was conceived by the renowned naval architecture firm Groupe Finot. It quickly established itself as a popular choice for sailors seeking a spirited day sailer, a fun club racer, or a minimalist pocket cruiser designed to meet the specifications of the international Micro Class rule.
