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 "cruiserracer" duality, offering a platform stiff enough for offshore silverware yet refined enough for Mediterraneanstyle family cruising. Unlike its predecessor, which leaned more toward the IMS racing circuits of the time, the First 45 embraced a more modern, plumbbow aesthetic and a sophisticated hull shape that prioritizes both volume and hydrodynamics.
