Beneteau First 33.7
Description
The Beneteau First 33.7 is a high-performance fractional sloop designed by Berret-Racoupeau and built by Beneteau in France from 1992 to 1994. As a versatile racer-cruiser in the First line, it draws inspiration from larger siblings like the First 36.7 and 42.7, emphasizing hull power, an effective deck layout, and a responsive sail plan for competitive PHRF racing or spirited coastal cruising. With approximately 50 units produced, it's a rare find today, prized for its lively handling in moderate-to-strong breezes and spacious, well-appointed interior that punches above its size
