Launched in 1984, the Beneteau First 26 represents a pivotal moment in the evolution of the modern production cruiserracer. Designed by the esteemed JeanMarie Finot of Groupe Finot, this model was part of the wave that established Beneteau as a dominant global force. With over 1,100 units produced during its fiveyear production run, the First 26 achieved a level of commercial success that few 26footers have matched since. It was engineered to offer a "big boat" feel within a manageable, trailerablewidth footprint, serving as a gateway vessel for young families and a spirited platform for club racing. The boat was offered in both a deepfin keel version (GTE) and a liftingkeel version (PTE), catering to both offshore performance and shallowwater gunkholing.
