The Beneteau First 51, introduced in 1987, represents a pinnacle of the "Frers era" at the French shipyard. Designed by the esteemed Argentinian naval architect Germán Frers, this model was part of a specific lineage of performanceoriented yachts that sought to combine the racing pedigree of IORinfluenced designs with the volume and luxury of a flagship cruiser. Often described as one of the French shipyard's models that comes closest in build quality to Northern European standards, it was built to satisfy a growing demand for "maxicruisers" that could cross oceans at pace while offering substantial amenities.
