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 Vendée-based builder; it represented a strategic pivot from utilitarian craft to high-performance production cruisers. The hull was born from the lines of Impensable, the Mauric-designed 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.
