Bénéteau First 30 (2026 Model): The Icon's Grand Return at Fil de l'Étrave

The Bénéteau First 30 marks the grand return of a sailing legend. More than just a 30-foot sailboat, it is a genuine statement of intent: to bring back the taste for accessible performance, pure helming pleasure, and fast sailing, whether with family or crew.

Available at Fil de l'Étrave in Hyères, this new 2026 model is a modern, powerful, and versatile platform, the result of ambitious naval architecture. Imagine yourself at the helm of a sailboat combining the liveliness of a thoroughbred racer and the comfort of a modern cruiser.

Architecture & Layout: A Revolutionary Planing Cruiser
The First 30 is based on a hard-chine hull with optimized fore volume. Designed by naval architect Samuel Manuard, this wide aft hull facilitates planing while maintaining stability and precise control in gusts.

A Powerful Hull Inspired by Offshore Racing
"A sailboat that planes, yet remains within reach of a small crew" - this is the DNA of this new cruiser signed Bénéteau.

Where planing sailing was once reserved for experts, this new First 30 reshuffles the cards:

Top speed: Capable of reaching and exceeding 15 knots.

Record lightness: An optimized weight of approximately 3 tonnes for immediate takeoff.

Hydrodynamics: A slightly flared stern to reduce drag and facilitate "takeoff".

With this new addition to the First range, you no longer just float: you glide, you surf. Thrilling sensations guaranteed between Porquerolles and the Golden Isles.

A Deck Layout Focused on Efficiency and Modularity
The cockpit, wide and ergonomic, is designed for regatta efficiency without sacrificing the comfort of family cruising.

Ergonomic helm station: Direct access to all sheets and controls for simplified solo or double-handed sailing.

Modern rig: A generous and balanced sail plan to maintain power even in light Mediterranean airs.

High-performance deck hardware: Large-sized winches as standard.

Regatta Version: Optional mainsheet traveler and refined technical gear for tuning enthusiasts.

Interior Spaces: The Blend of Comfort and the First Spirit
The First 30 does not sacrifice well-being for speed. The interior layout is sleek, contemporary, and extremely bright.

Accommodation: 2 double cabins (fore and aft) accommodating 4 to 6 persons.

Volume: Approximately 1.85 m headroom under beams in the saloon.

Functional galley: Equipped with a stove, refrigerator, and optimized storage.

Premium finish: Magnetic doors, LED backlighting, and fine wood finishes.

Racing Tip: The aft cabin instantly converts into a sail storage area.
