The Beneteau First 44 marks a sophisticated return to the "performance cruiser" roots that defined the French builder’s reputation in the 1980s and 90s. Launched as a bridge between the nimble First 36 and the flagship First Yacht 53, this 44-foot yacht is the result of a high-profile collaboration between naval architect Roberto Biscontini and stylist Lorenzo Argento. Unlike the high-volume Oceanis line, the First 44 prioritizes a sleek hull form, reduced displacement through vacuum-infused construction, and a powerful sail plan. It is designed to satisfy two distinct profiles of sailors: those seeking a fast, elegant cruiser and those intending to compete in offshore ORC or IRC circuits. The model is built in two primary configurations—the standard First 44 and the First 44 Performance—which share a hull but differ significantly in deck layout, rig height, and weight distribution.
