Perché i velisti scelgono il First 40.7
The First 40.7 is a Farr-designed production racer-cruiser that became a standard club and offshore racing boat, often in one-design fleets as well as IRC. Owners like its strong upwind and off-wind speed for the price and its comfortable three-cabin layout. It wants crew weight on the rail in a breeze, and used buyers should check the keel attachment and stowage is limited.
- Fast for a production boat, performance at a good price
- Works for club racing and comfortable cruising
- One-design fleets as well as handicap racing
- Likes a breeze and plenty of crew weight
- Check keel attachment on used boats; limited stowage

Cosa dicono velisti e tester · con parole nostre, dalle pagine collegate
Balanced and grippy in 16-23 knots, though the crew of five wanted more weight on the rail; few rivals match its precision at the price.

Owners rate it highly upwind and downwind and very stable; buyers should survey the hull-keel joint, and the galley and forward cabin are tight.
