The Beneteau First 32, introduced in 1980 and designed by the prolific Jean Berret, represents a landmark era in the evolution of the modern cruiserracer. During its production run through 1984, Beneteau produced approximately 900 units, cementing its status as one of the most successful hulls in the early First series. At the time of its debut, the 32foot segment was fiercely competitive, yet the First 32 distinguished itself by successfully porting the performance characteristics of Berret’s IORinfluenced racing hulls into a platform that a family could comfortably cruise. It was a bridge between the raw athleticism of the original First 30 and the more voluminous Oceanis cruising line that would follow later in the decade. The model was eventually succeeded by the First 32s5, which featured a radical interior by Philippe Starck, and the First 325, though the original 32 remains highly regarded for its robust construction and balanced sailing manners.
