The Beneteau First 30, designed by Sam Manuard in collaboration with Lorenzo Argento, represents a pivotal shift for the French manufacturer toward the "planing cruiser" category. Unlike the 1977 André Mauric classic or the 2010 Juan Kouyoumdjian iteration, this modern First 30 leverages Manuard’s extensive background in Class 40 and IMOCA design to deliver a hull that prioritizes light-air planing and high-speed stability. Developed alongside the Seascape team, the vessel fills the gap between the smaller First 27 and the larger First 36, aiming to democratize high-performance offshore sailing for the weekend cruiser. As noted in the official Beneteau First 30 specification, the boat focuses on the "joy of planing for everyone," utilizing an infused GRP construction to keep light displacement around 6,700 lbs.
