A Modern and Smart performant boat
Sam Manuard, famous naval architect designed the boat with a very light structure,a modern hull shape, a deep keel and twin rudders which reminds of the boat’sessence: fast and easy-to-control modern planing sailing boat.In the interior, you benefit of one ample open space with enough comfort and allkey living onboard elements. She can comfortably welcome to sleep 4 adults withan optional place for a toilet.
Which allies practicality and safety
Her retractable keel makes road transport, winter storage and slip launchingeasier than ever. Despite being modern and fast, she is very safe. Insubmersibility chambers makeher unsinkable, the swinging keel will save the structure in case of grounding anda well-balanced twin rudder system gives you full control.
A racer at Heart
First 24 will show her true nature under the sails. A flat, modern planing hull and a deep
ballasted keel deliver a fast and fun sailing experience. The twin rudders ensure complete
control in any conditions. Because of the very light hull, she'll move and keep moving even in
the slightest wind breezes.
Thanks to a spacious cockpit design, you'll enjoy easy handling in a solo, double-handed or
fully crewed setup whether you are relaxing on an afternoon sailing, battling on a club race, or
cruising with your family. In any setup, she will surprise you with fun, comfortable and relaxed
sailing.

The First 24 in the Gulf
The First 24 packs three boats into 7.29 metres: a pocket cruiser that sleeps four, a lively day-sailer and a club racer. Samuel Manuard gave her a light vacuum-infused hull, twin rudders and a deep swing keel, so she moves in the lightest breeze and stays easy to control when it builds.
Her fully retractable keel is the trump card on this coast: draft goes from 2 metres down to 25 centimetres, so she launches from an ordinary slipway, travels by road between marinas and reaches shallow anchorages that deeper keelboats cannot. Buoyancy chambers make her unsinkable.
