The Beneteau First 45, born from the drafting tables of Farr Yacht Design with interior styling by Nauta Design, represents a pinnacle in the manufacturer’s storied "First" lineage. Launched in 2007 as a successor to the highly successful First 44.7, this model was part of a generational refresh that included the First 40 and the flagship First 50. It was designed to satisfy the "cruiser-racer" duality, offering a platform stiff enough for offshore silverware yet refined enough for Mediterranean-style family cruising. Unlike its predecessor, which leaned more toward the IMS racing circuits of the time, the First 45 embraced a more modern, plumb-bow aesthetic and a sophisticated hull shape that prioritizes both volume and hydrodynamics.
