2001 Beneteau First 40.7

The Beneteau First 40.7 – a Cruising World Magazine boat of the year - combines a sleek and sophisticated racer with all the comforts of a luxurious cruiser. Her Bruce Farr- designed hull and powerful triple spreader fractional rig provide excellent performance on the racecourse and in passage making. The extra-roomy cockpit features removable lockers that provide more space and less weight for racing. Standard equipment includes a tall fractional rig, high-performance keel and premium deck hardware.

The First 40.7's have a very successful racing track record but many owners love them for performance cruising. With a CE Navigation "A" rating she'll take you safely anywhere and you will get there quickly! Everlong has several upgrades that enhance her cruisability and race readiness, including a Farr designed rudder and bearings set recently installed, Aqua Marine soft teak decking in the cockpit, vectran hiking pad covered lifelines, plus extensive electronics and navigation.

Her interior layout is light and airy with a nice balance between her well maintained varnished joinery and sole and white surfaces. She’s very well set up for short and long distance cruising with a V-Berth cabin forward and port and starboard aft cabins, all with double beds. The salon has long sofas and a center fold down table with an L-shaped galley to port and navigation station to starboard.

From her topsides and deck to her interior, Everlong has been very well maintained. You would be hard pressed to find a better all around performance cruiser and very capable racer than the Beneteau First 40.7 - as proven by her popularity both in the US and in Europe.
