The Beneteau First 47.7 is designed by the famous Bruce Farr who has created an easily driven, slippery hull and crowned it with a powerful rig and sail plan. Farr designed this yacht without regard to handicap rules and has used his great abilities to create an excellent hull, both in terms of seaworthiness and performance. The hull has a fine entry and yet a comfortably wide transom for racing space and cruising comfort.
