Beneteau First 375
Description
The Beneteau First 375 is a performance-oriented masthead sloop designed by Jean Berret and built by Beneteau in France from 1985 to 1989. As a versatile entry in Beneteau's First line, it was crafted for club racing and coastal cruising, offering a balance of speed from its IOR-inspired hull and practical accommodations for family weekends. Approximately 200 units were produced, many still active in PHRF fleets or as capable coastal cruisers. Variants include a shoal-draft keel (5 ft) for shallower waters and 2- or 3-cabin layouts.

Disclaimer. Boats are not all the same -- even when produced in the same factory of the same model. Sailrite does its best to publish accurate dimensions, but we often find it worthwhile to have our customers measure their boats carefully before we produce kits for them.
