2024 Beneteau First 27

The 2024 Beneteau First 27 is a racing-focused sailing yacht equipped with performance upgrades throughout. Built of fiberglass with a length of 26 feet and beam of 8.33 feet, she features a single Yanmar 15 hp diesel engine with approximately 110 hours of use and a folding two-blade propeller. The boat is powered by freshwater exposure only and never sailed in salt water.

The sail plan consists of five sails: North Sails NPL main and jib (both on furlers), a Beneteau gennaker, and two North Sails racing spinnakers including a heavy-air spinnaker on a continuous-line furler. Deck systems include dual cockpit control backstay, adjustable jib controls via in-hauler and barber hauler arrangements, a four-to-one traveler, and self-tailing Harken winches. A Selden fractional double-spreader rig supports the sail plan, and a Spinlock adjustable tiller extension is fitted.

Below deck, the single cabin accommodates crew with six storage bags with hanging clips, magnetic privacy doors, LED rechargeable lighting, and eight LED lights throughout. The head includes a holding tank and has never been used. A 10-gallon freshwater tank feeds the pressurized sink basin and transom shower. Galley facilities consist of a single-burner cooker and another pressurized sink with folding faucet. Navigation and instrumentation include a B&G Nemesis 9 at the mast, a B&G Triton 2 display, and a bulkhead compass, all connectable to tablet-based navigation software.

The boat received fresh bottom paint with Sharkskin finish in November 2024 and comes with a recently serviced trailer fitted with five new tires. Power systems include two AGM batteries, a solar charging panel for house power, and standard shore power charging via regular wall outlet. Additional equipment includes a stack pack mainsail cover, lazy jacks, and a jib sock cover.
