The First 40 combines a sleek and sophisticated racer with all the comforts of a performance cruiser.
The heritage of the Farr Yacht Design office gave to this boat a very powerful hul and a racing rig that provides excellent performance whether you are on the race course or if you just want to get to the next harbor a little more quickly than usual.
The specific First 40 is very well maintained with a lot of extras. If your looking for a boat to race competitively or cruise with the family the First 40 needs to ne on your short list.
The early 2009 models, like this one, has cored hull vs the 2010+ models which have a monolithic hull. Advantages of cored hulls are: lighter, more rigid and more resistant than monolithic hulls. Cored hulls fills the needs & demands for someone who want a lighter, faster and more rigid boat.
