Inspired by the skipper's experience of its architect, Sam Manuard, the First 27 is a robust and light boat, sporty and fun thanks to its angled hull running all the way to the stern, vertical bulwarks, flotation and double rudder. In addition, the carbon rigging and deep lead keel, which accounts for 50% of the total weight, ensure excellent stability. Type-approved in EC category B, she can withstand winds of up to force 8. This is the boat we chose for those entering the world of real cruising with the C3 course.
"Since 1967, Centro Velico Caprera has been at the forefront of sailing instruction, succeeding in helping each student to develop familiarity with boats and sailing techniques, to achieve the perfect balance between confidence and respect for the sea," explains Paolo Bordogna, President of Centro Velico Caprera. "All this is also possible thanks to the fact that the school continues to invest in boats with a strong innovative component".
"We are very proud that the First 27 has been chosen by Centro Velico Caprera. In addition to building boats, our mission is to encourage and promote sailing education. The fact that Italy's most renowned sailing school has chosen to integrate the First 27 into its fleet is a great honour and demonstrates Beneteau's ability to respond to the needs of the educational community. We look forward to working closely with Centro Velico Caprera and strengthening our partnership in the coming months," adds Gianguido Girotti, General Manager of Beneteau.
