The heir to superyachts, the First 45 is reminiscent of the First 50, with flowing lines and a similar accommodation layout. She has a powerful hull strengthened by a hard chine in aft hull section. She is designed with a lengthened sail plan and 2 versions of keel, either bulbous either optimized for IRC, making her elegant yet aggressive against both the sea and other competitors.
