First 44

The Beneteau First 44 is a true performance cruiser: fast under sail, comfortable at anchor and finished to the standard the First name has carried for five decades. Available through Burin Boats with full commissioning, registration and after-sales support in Slovenia and the wider Adriatic.

This lovely sailing yacht, with a remarkable design, is today the natural link between the First 36 and the First 53. It combines performance, elegance and comfort thanks to the quality of its equipment, which offers unequalled sailing pleasure.

With the new First 44, BENETEAU draws on the noblest expression of the term “racer/cruiser”: an elegant and comfortable yacht that provides unequalled pleasure under sail. The generous sail plan allows the First 44 to be lively and efficient in all conditions.

Interior design

The First 44 offers a streamlined interior layout that is modern and luminous, with a blend of white lacquered surfaces, moulded woods and tasteful upholsteries.

With three cabins and two heads, the interior is designed with quality finishes and materials to create a refined atmosphere.

In the saloon, the transverse table seats up to six people and faces the sofa and navigation station; its position in relation to the mast facilitates circulation between the galley and the owner’s cabin, enhancing the feeling of space.

Exterior design

On board the First 44, the cockpit is very convivial with a lovely cockpit table as well as its fluidity with level access to the large clear gangways. Four winches, a fixed centreline block for the mainsheet and a mast set further aft all maximise the potential of her modern sail plan, defined by a slender mainsail and generously sized foresails. Two 350-litre ballast tanks, which can be activated electrically from the helm consoles, make it possible to maintain the boat’s full potential.

True to the scientific approach he inherited from the America’s Cup, Roberto Biscontini has carried out numerous simulations and iterations to produce a powerful, well-balanced hull. Combined with a generous sail plan, this means that the First 44 is lively and efficient in all conditions.
