2026 Beneteau 18' (5.49 m) First 18 SE
Rockport, Texas, United States
The First 18 SE can be easily sailed by a crew of 1 to 3 people thanks to a large and clean cockpit, a furling jib, a spinnaker snuffer system, a high boom, and a mast without a backstay, which allows for a bigger square-top mainsail.

Description
The First 18 SE is a modern and fun gateway to keel-boat sailing. A wide, flat and stable hull, ballasted swinging keel, gennaker snuffer system, furling jib, and minimized deck controls all facilitate an easy-to-handle yet lively sailing experience. Easily dismantled and trailered, she'll surely fulfill racing ambitions in international one-design classes as well as adventurous sea-camping.
