The Beneteau First 30, designed by the legendary naval architect André Mauric and launched in 1977, stands as the foundational pillar of the "First" range. This vessel was not merely a new model for the Vendéebased builder; it represented a strategic pivot from utilitarian craft to highperformance production cruisers. The hull was born from the lines of Impensable, the Mauricdesigned prototype that secured victory in the 1973 Half Ton Cup. This racing pedigree, combined with Beneteau’s emerging prowess in fiberglass construction, resulted in a boat that dominated the European market, with over 1,000 units produced between 1977 and 1981. It remains a celebrated "youngtimer" in the sailing world, appreciated for its robust build and historical significance as the official boat of the Tour de France à la Voile from 1978 to 1980.
