The Beneteau First 30 (Juan K edition), introduced in 2010, represents one of the most radical departures in the history of the First lineup. While its 1977 predecessor of the same name was a conservative Andre Mauric design that helped build the brand’s reputation, this modern iteration was penned by Juan Kouyoumdjian, the naval architect behind multiple Volvo Ocean Race winners. This collaboration aimed to distill highend offshore racing technology into a 32foot production yacht. The result is a vessel that looks and behaves more like a Mini 6.50 or a Class 40 than a traditional family cruiser, featuring a broad transom, pronounced hard chines, and a twinrudder configuration that was revolutionary for its class at the time.
