About this sailing yacht
Pre-order now for 2020 season
Benefiting from the First legacy of 40 years at sea, the eagerly awaited First Yacht 53 will make her preliminary series of tacks early this autumn. The First Yacht 53 is a high-end sailing yacht marrying luxury and performance, making her comfortable and easy to move around. Two stars aligned for her creation: Roberto Biscontini of America s Cup fame for the hull design and Lorenzo Argento for the interior and exterior design. Designed for sailing purists, with high expectations of excitement at the helm and life at sea, the First Yacht 53 boasts strong features making her above all...very much a First!
A HULL AND SAIL PLAN QUICK TO CLOCK UP MILES
Featuring a full plumb bow and a maximum beam further aft, the twin rudders give the perfect feed-back to control this highly responsive hull. The 2.5 m or 3 m draught (with lead bulb), as well as an optional carbon mast, gives the First Yacht 53 the competitive advantage to clock up miles quickly. I have always looked for performance on the boats that I sail and build. The First Yacht 53 is a lot like me! said Robert Biscontini in good humor, in light of his incredible experience in the America s Cup. To achieve maximum thrills at the helm, we focused on balancing weight and balance under sail when we designed the boat. We worked hard to optimize the position of the centre of buoyancy in relation to the centre of effort, guaranteeing a lively yacht under sail, responding quickly to the helm. We asked the best outfitters to provide their top performing products: North Sails for the sails, Harken for the deck gear, Lorima for the mast, and Lemer for the keel. They were all involved on the recent design of the Figaro BENETEAU 3 with foils.
A SAFE EASY-FLOW DECK PLAN
Stay safe when buying: always view the boat in person before paying, check the HIN/registration documents, and never transfer a deposit to a seller you haven't met. BoatClassifieds.co.uk never asks for payment to secure a viewing.
