The Beneteau First 27 represents a modern evolution of the "pocket cruiser" concept, effectively bridging the gap between highperformance 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 hardchined 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 highspec carbon rig and swingkeel of its Seascape heritage, and the First 27, a more cruiseroriented version featuring a fixed keel, an inboard diesel engine, and an aluminum mast.
