The Beneteau First 35, specifically the modern iteration launched in 2009, represents a sophisticated evolution in the manufacturer’s "First" lineage of performanceoriented cruisers. Designed by the esteemed Farr Yacht Design with an interior penned by Nauta Design, this model was built to satisfy the dual requirements of competitive IRC/ORC handicap racing and comfortable weekend cruising. It arrived as a successor to the highly regarded First 34.7 and served as a modern homage to the original 1979 First 35 designed by Jean Berret. While the earlier Berret model solidified Beneteau’s reputation for offshore durability, the 2009 Farr version shifted the focus toward contemporary design trends, featuring a broader beam carried aft, a powerful fractional rig, and a more versatile cockpit layout. This model notably secured the "European Yacht of the Year" title in the Performance Cruiser category shortly after its debut, a testament to its successful marriage of speed and utility.
