Beneteau
First 18
The First 18 glides excellently on the water and promises absolutely relaxed navigation. Combining all the pleasures of dinghy sailing, her versatility appeals as much to expert regatta racers as it does to novices who dream of coastal raids with family or friends.
Design
Exterior
A large progressively chined hull gives you a taste of what is to come. The First 18 offers speed and sensations, whatever your plan. Stable and lightweight, with a planning hull and high-performance rigging, the First 18 makes the most of the slightest puff of wind to reach speeds that can equal it! Stiff in a breeze, she is also perfect to maneuver when the wind picks up. Certified for four people aboard, the First 18 handles easily with a crew of two or solo, even under spinnaker. Thanks to her lifting keel, you can beach easily wherever you want.
Design
Interior
The habitable space under the First 18’s coachroof is amazing for a boat this size, making it perfect for coastal cruising. A user-friendly companionway takes you inside where the cabin has a 2.20m long double berth and lots of clever stowages. A cockpit tent provides additional sleeping space.
