With her slender profile and generous sail plan, the First 24 introduces an entirely new level of speed and maneuverability to coastal cruising. Her balanced and versatile sail plan, with sails from North Sails, includes a square-top mainsail with two reefing lines, a furling jib and an asymmetric spinnaker so quickness will never be an issue.
The First 18 was designed to be the springboard for every sailor from future America’s Cup skippers to those who just want to feel the freedom of being on the water. Her racing genes are evident when you first take the tiller. Twin rudders and a five-foot lifting keel make her quick, fast, and fun, but she makes no concessions when it comes to safety, comfort and easy handling.
