2026 Beneteau First 24

The Beneteau First 24 is a 24-foot fiberglass sloop built for both day sailing and club racing, combining a modern planing hull with responsive handling in a compact package. The boat sleeps up to four and features a retractable keel that allows launching and recovery on a standard slipway, opening access to shallow-water cruising grounds. Twin rudders and a deep ballasted keel provide stability and control across varying conditions.

The First 24's design emphasizes performance and ease of handling. The flat, modern hull shape works with the swinging keel to deliver speed even in light winds, while the spacious cockpit accommodates solo, double-handed, or fully crewed sailing. The boat is equally at home on relaxed family cruises or competitive club racing.
