First 40
With an outstanding level of equipment for a production cruiser/cruiser, the First 40 has won fame for a unique international record of achievements in IRC, as well as ORC. A reference in the forty foot class, this boat does not compromise on safety and yet its level of comfort makes living on board very pleasant.
