2004 Beneteau First 27.7 | 29ft

Beneteau First 27.7 'BETTY BLUE' exclusively for sale with DBY Boat Sales.  

Pure Performance with Weekend Freedom

Designed by the renowned Groupe Finot, the Beneteau First 27.7 is a fast, responsive performance yacht that delivers thrilling sailing with practical weekend cruising capability. Her light-displacement hull, wide beam aft, fin keel and twin rudders provide excellent stability, sharp upwind performance, and superb control when heeled. 

The fractional sloop rig, with a powerful mainsail and manageable headsail, makes her easy to sail short-handed while still highly competitive on the racecourse. Off the wind, she is quick and playful, capable of surfing and carrying symmetrical or asymmetrical spinnakers for exhilarating downwind runs. 

Below deck, the interior is compact yet functional, offering a forward V-berth, two aft quarter berths, a small galley, and a marine head -- ideal for regatta weekends or coastal adventures. The ergonomic cockpit, clean deck layout, and CE Category B rating make her a safe and confidence-inspiring choice for club racing and fast cruising.
