A polyvalent performant dinghy
Effortless to handle, entry-level dinghy thanks to smart design features, stable hull, big, clean and ergonomic cockpit
She is adaptable to single and double-handed crews alike without compromising sailing experience, thanks to two centreboard slots and furling jib.
Light, modern, wide and flat planing hull design and wave-piercing bow result in a very stable and safe dinghy
Stable and Safe Design
With a wide and flat hull shape, sharp chines, and a piercing bow, the First 14 provides exceptional stability and safety. This design ensures a comfortable and secure sailing experience, even without the need for a trapeze.
Enhanced Mobility
The First 14 is lightweight and easily transportable, capable of being carried on a car roof. Its unique removable wheels allow sailors to explore distant shores without the need to return to the starting point, making it perfect for discovering hidden, wild, and beautiful beaches.

The First 14 in the Gulf
The First 14 is the smallest boat in the First range: a 4.3-metre planing dinghy drawn by Samuel Manuard for one or two sailors. A wide, stable hull, a furling self-tacking jib and no trapeze make her an easy first step into modern performance sailing — for teenagers, newcomers, or experienced sailors who simply want an hour of fun on the water.
At 72 kg she travels on a car roof, and removable wheels let you pull her up a beach and launch again later. In the Gulf’s light-to-moderate breezes, two centreboard positions let you adapt the boat to the wind and to a crew of one or two.
