The Beneteau First 22 is a versatile, small-displacement sailboat that effectively bridges the gap between a performance daysailer and a coastal weekender. While the "First 22" name originally appeared in the Beneteau catalog in 1978 as a Jean-Marie Finot design, the model was reimagined and relaunched in 2014 through a strategic partnership between Beneteau America and the American Sailing Association (ASA). This modern iteration, as detailed by American Sailing, was specifically engineered to serve as a premier training vessel for sailing schools, though it has found secondary popularity among private owners seeking a forgiving yet sprightly trailerable cruiser. Built on the proven hull of the Finot-Conq designed First 20, the First 22 features a distinct deck mold and rig optimized for ergonomic safety and instructional utility.
