Introduced in the late 1980s as a bold departure from traditional yacht design, the Beneteau First 35S5 represents a landmark collaboration between naval architect Jean Berret and worldrenowned industrial designer Philippe Starck. Part of the "5s5" series, which included the First 32S5, the First 38S5, and the First 41S5, this model was intended to merge competitive racing performance with a provocative, avantgarde interior. According to the Beneteau heritage archives, the model was produced between 1988 and 1992, selling over 430 units and establishing a new aesthetic for the "cruiserracer" category that persists in the used market today.
