Beneteau First 40: A Mini ReviewCarol Vernon delivers a short review of this racer/cruiser for the CW 2010 Sailboat Show
Sep 16, 2009 By Carol Vernon (More articles by this author) 
A sporty 3 cabin racer/cruiser from Farr Yacht Designs. Interior styling is by Nauta Design using light oak color Alpi woodwork and parquet type floors for a bright and airy feel that is easy to maintain. The standard version has a 6'-5"' draft with cast iron keel, but if racing is your main goal, a taller carbon mast and short chord lead bulb keel are options. The standard boat is light on systems which is good for racers and other minimalists. For cruisers, factory installed options include hot water, refrigeration, electric windlass, autopilot, GPS and sailing instruments, roller furling headsails, and shore power.
