The First 27 Beneteau is a 26.24ft masthead sloop designed by André Mauric and built in fiberglass by Beneteau since 1978.
The First 27 Beneteau is a moderate weight sailboat which is a reasonably good performer. It is stable / stiff and has a low righting capability if capsized. It is best suited as a day-boat. The fuel capacity is originally very small. There is a very short water supply range.
