The Beneteau First 27 represents a modern evolution of the "pocket cruiser" concept, effectively bridging the gap between high-performance offshore racing and coastal family cruising. Designed by Sam Manuard, the hull originally gained international acclaim as the Seascape 27 before being integrated into Beneteau’s First line. The vessel is characterized by its contemporary architectural features, including a hard-chined hull, twin rudders, and a broad beam that is carried well aft to facilitate early planing. This model is currently marketed in two distinct versions that utilize the same hull mold: the First 27 SE (Sport Edition), which retains the high-spec carbon rig and swing-keel of its Seascape heritage, and the First 27, a more cruiser-oriented version featuring a fixed keel, an inboard diesel engine, and an aluminum mast.
