Owner's Comments

"We bought our Beneteau First 40 in 2009 because we were looking for a fast yet comfortable family cruiser/racer to sail out of Lagos Marina in the Western Algarve on the south coast of Portugal. The boat has sailed between the French Atlantic coast, the Spanish Atlantic coast, West and South coasts of Portugal, Andalusia in Spain - both Atlantic and Mediterranean. We have raced in regattas out of Lagos and along the Portuguese and Spanish south coasts. A comfortable cruiser, the boat sails very well at all points of sailing and has been greatly enjoyed by all who have cruised in her."
