The Beneteau First 45, designed by the renowned naval architect Philippe Briand and launched in 2008, represents a sophisticated pivot in the evolution of the "First" lineage. While its predecessors often leaned heavily toward either pure racing or conservative cruising, the Brianddesigned 45footer was engineered to occupy the thin "cruiserracer" line with surgical precision. It was introduced alongside the First 40 and First 50 as part of a refreshed range characterized by plumb bows, lowprofile coachroofs, and hulls optimized for IRC rating systems. Unlike the older First 45f5 or the 1980sera 456, this model features a sleek, minimalist aesthetic influenced by Nauta Design, aiming to provide a highperformance platform that does not sacrifice the creature comforts required for extended Mediterranean or Caribbean cruising.
