Beneteau First 20 Overview
Beneteau First 20 Overview
Sailing Beneteau First 20 can be a good choice for those looking for a boat for short coastal cruises with family or in a small company. This yacht will also be an excellent first boat for those looking for a short coastal cruise with family or in small company. Despite its modest size (6.4m long), the First 20 has a whole range of characteristics that are more typical of racing boats – a mainsail with a rectangular top, two rudders and a hull that provides both speed and good stability.
The design of Beneteau First 20 was made by Finot Conq & Associates. Beneteau’s portfolio includes the famous boats that have participated in the famous round the world events – Hugo Boss, Generali, as well as yachts of Mini-Transat class. At 1.2 t this yacht is easily transported in a trailer, so the owner is not limited in his choice of water area for travel. In addition, the trailer makes it possible to avoid a permanent berth space.
The boat is equipped with a lifting centreboard so that it is easy to launch it. However, as well as traveling in shallow water areas and get as close to the shore as possible, the draft of the boat with the raised centreboard is only 70 cm.
The cabin can sleep up to 4 people. No bathroom is provided, but there is room for a portable bio-toilet. Sailing arms, except for the mainsail and the twist jib, include a spinnaker and/or gennaker.
