The Beneteau First 345, introduced in 1984, represents a pivotal era in the evolution of the racercruiser. Designed by Jean Berret, the 345 was tasked with succeeding the highly popular First 32 and First 35, balancing the stringent requirements of the IOR (International Offshore Rule) with the burgeoning demand for interior volume. Unlike many of its contemporaries that sacrificed comfort for a competitive rating, the First 345 became one of the first production yachts of its size to successfully offer a threecabin layout without compromising its pedigree on the racecourse. With over 500 hulls produced during its fouryear production run, it remains a benchmark for Beneteau’s ability to massproduce performanceoriented hulls that appeal to the family cruiser.
