Description
GET TO KNOW HER
The flagship of the new FIRST line, the First 27 is unquestionably the fastest and safest cruiser in this size range. Her modern and state-of-the-art design delivers the magic of planing sailing to families, couples, and solo sailors alike, wherever the cruising ground and whatever the weather conditions. A true pocket yacht, she has an inboard Yanmar diesel, a working galley, a real head, and plenty of storage, as well as room for up to six crew members for overnight adventures.
NAVAL ARCHITECT: Samuel Manuard
INTERIOR DESIGN: Gigodesign
Concept and R&D: Seascape
MODERN & FAST
A light vacuum-infused hull, a modern design, and a deep low-center-of-gravity keel make the First 27 significantly faster, delivering stable and safe planing sailing to anyone who sails her.
SAFE
Very high stability due to an unsinkable hull combined with three unsinkable chambers, a crash-box, an inboard engine, and balanced twin rudders for complete control make safety one of her strongest points.
UNDER CONTROL
Carefully thought-out cockpit ergonomics, minimized and simplified deck controls, double winches, and a perfectly balanced steering system assure easy handling in single-handed, double-handed, or fully-crewed setups.
RELIABLE
A reliable 15 HP inboard engine coupled with a simple linear shaft drive and foldable propeller guarantees high cruising speeds, ease of use, and low maintenance.
TRAILERABLE
Even with a fixed keel, the First 27 is still a fully trailerable boat offering you a new level of freedom. You can easily discover distant shores without long sea deliveries, save on marina costs, and store your boat in your backyard during the off-season.
SAILING EXPERIENCE
The main promise and differentiation of the First 27 is her performance and unique sailing experience. Again and again, she will surprise you by getting to plane with as little as 12 knots of wind. She sources her stability from a wide and flat hull on the waterline and a lead T-bulb keel. Increased bow volume, accompanied by a balanced twin-rudder steering system, keeps you in complete control, whether you are sailing upwind or safely planing downwind. Easy boat handling comes from carefully thought-out boat design and cockpit ergonomics. Planing sensation and excitement will become your afternoon sailing routine on the First 27!
LIVING ABOARD
While being as fast as most race boats, she also offers a surprising level of comfort. The clean and minimalistic lightweight interior offers all essential amenities for onboard living. She is designed to sleep up to 6 adults, 2 in the bow cabin, and up to 4 in a very bright and openly-spaced salon, and is also equipped with a removable table and fridge. In the midsection, you'll find a galley with a gas burner and a sink with fresh water. Thanks to innovative, foldable magnetic doors, the midsection can be converted into a proper marine toilet with a black water tank or used as a front cabin extension. A large and open cockpit welcomes you with comfortable benches, a removable indoor/outdoor table, and a swim ladder with a shower on the stern.
