Boat Details
Description
Beneteau's First 40.7 is a one of the most successful cruiser racer designs. This boat is at home cruising the islands and bays or on the race track. The sail inventory on this 40.7 includes both racing and cruising set up ready for the next owner to enjoy exploring the coastline or race to the top of the podium!
The hull shape of the 40.7 features a moderate D/L of 162 and a wedge like platform with lots of beam aft. The tip of the transom is close to the DWL. One photo shows the boat with a nice, big, frothy bone in its tail, and the bow cleanly slicing through the chop. Two keels are offered, drawing 7 feet 9 inches or 6 feet 2 inches. The shoal keel is iron while the deep fin is lead.
The rig shows swept spreaders, no runners and a tall fractional rig. The sweep angle is 15 degrees, precisely the same as that of the X-Yacht. The SA/D is 20.85. The softer outlines of the deck structures complement the strong radius at the sheer and the overall look of lower windage. This boat has the feel of a race boat.
The deck has been tooled so it can be fine-tuned for either racing or cruising. True, the traveler is once again in the middle of the cockpit, but that has to be a given if you are serious about racing. The seat lockers forward of the wheel are removable so that you can have more working space when racing.
This interior has berths for three couples (or three men) to sleep in real comfort. The single head can be accessed either from the saloon or the forward stateroom. The navigation station is spacious, the galley is compact and functional with ample counter space and refrigerator for multiple day passages. The curved settees are comfortable, with large radii are appealing to the eye, and can also be used as extra berths.
If the details of the interior design are not to my taste, I have to admit that the finish style and quality of this design are superb. The styling of the joinerwork is clean and the furniture is high-quality. Beneteau has always excelled in this area. The molded headliner is styled in accentuated panels that provide a contrasting high-tech look to the curvy joiner detailing. While the detailing is far from traditional, I find the overall look and feel to be similar to traditional themes and very easy on the eyes.
Another winner from the team of Bruce Farr and Beneteau.
