Naval Architecture & Yacht Design

First 50’

The First 50 is designed in much the same way as a superyacht. Featuring state of the art technology, she is designed to capture streams of air and water before releasing them behind her in the same state as when they were ahead, making her an incredibly efficient sail yacht. She is particularly easy to manoeuvre when cruising short-handed. High performance deck gear allows for optimum control when racing, whatever the conditions.
