The Beneteau First Class Europe represents a pivotal moment in the late 1980s when the French builder sought to dominate the European offshore racing circuit. Designed by the prolific Groupe Finot, this model was specifically engineered as a one-design platform for the "Course de l'Europe." It was a direct evolution of the racing philosophy seen in the smaller First Class 8 and the larger First Class 12, serving as the high-performance successor to the First Class 10. Built between 1988 and 1990, the First Class Europe was designed to be light, fast, and capable of handling the rigors of multi-leg offshore racing while remaining accessible enough for semi-professional crews.
