The First 29 Beneteau is a 29.67ft masthead sloop designed by Jean-Marie Finot and built in fiberglass by Beneteau between 1983 and 1989.
520 units have been built.
The First 29 Beneteau is a light sailboat which is a reasonably good performer. It is reasonably 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.
