The Beneteau First 211 is a high-performance pocket cruiser that successfully bridged the gap between a responsive racing dinghy and a capable coastal yacht. Launched in 1998 as a significant evolution of the earlier First 210, the 211 was designed by the acclaimed naval architects at Groupe Finot. It was a commercial triumph for the Beneteau shipyard, with over 500 units produced in just four years before it was eventually succeeded by the First 21.7 and later the First 20. The model is frequently described by maritime journalists as a "pocket rocket" due to its ability to plane in heavy air while remaining exceptionally forgiving for family day sailing.
