Por qué los regatistas eligen el First 40

The First 40 replaced the hugely popular 40.7, and Farr drew it to rate well under both IRC and ORC while keeping a full cruising interior. It proved itself offshore, including top IRC places in the Sydney-Hobart, and judges found it stiff, solid and quiet in a seaway. It is heavier than older boats of its size, and the galley and forward berth are tight.

  • Designed to rate well under IRC and ORC
  • Strong offshore results including the Sydney-Hobart
  • Stiff, powerful boat that handles chop well
  • Good deck ergonomics for crewed racing
  • Heavier than earlier 40-footers; small galley

  • Judges found it stiff, quiet and powerful through steep chop, hitting upwind targets, and noted IRC trends made it heavier than older rivals.

  • He considers it clearly fast, citing its Sydney-Hobart IRC results, but finds the galley small and the forward berth cramped.
