Clean lines, a sleek hull, a well-balanced roof shape, a high-aspect ratio rig, the First 40.7 has become a paragon of elegance and pride for owners willing to sail in style.
Fans of regattas are loving the sensitivity of the big wheel with its pyramid pedestal, the double wave helmsman seat, the acclaimed cockpit
design, the removable lockers, the clever deck layout with optimum genoa sheeting angles, the new and higher fractional rig and the wealth of gear offered by the First 40.7� Performance cruising enthusiasts further appreciate the comfort of the cockpit with rails, footrests and round edges everywhere; the genoa furler and the electric windlass as standard equipment are a must and the interior layout is really designed for ocean passages.
Seaworth and nice, the hallmark of the First, inside too
Entering a First 40.7 is meeting a style; the spirit of the First is inside, too: typical design enhanced by lighter cabinetry and stainless steel touches, spacious accommodation, quality materials,
moulded wood, curved settee, natural light and air through many hatches and ports, an innovative layout and equipment to make easy moving around, relaxing, storing, cooking or sleeping, regardless of the conditions� Forward of the mast is the owner�s domain, with a roomy cabin bordering the heads and shower. The Aft cabins are a real treat for the crew; a leeboard can be set on each double berth. The
true nav station and the galley are owner and crew friendly, whether beating or surfing. No wonder the First 40.7 is the top ranking 40�-footer in the ARC transats and in the heart of passionate performance cruisers!
