Beneteau First 40.7 review: from the archive

• May 2, 2021

Since the launch of Bruce Farr’s design in 1999, nearly 700 Beneteau First 40.7s have been built. But what is responsible for the enduring appeal of this cruiser racer?

The Beneteau would have benifited from more weight on the rail. Credit: Beneteau Credit: Beneteau

Product Overview

Manufacturer:.

Their prevalence at regattas shows how much the design has caught the imagination as a performance boat at a good price.

Nowadays there’s another reason for its success-with so many boats on the water, owners get frequent opportunities to race head to head. To assess her appeal, we went for a spin on Southampton Water.

One reason for the Beneteau First 40.7’s success is its versatility as a cruiser-racer.

In around 16 knots of wind, gusting to 23 knots, the Beneteau First 40.7 was well powered up under full main and No 3 head sail.

We could have used some more weight on the rail than our crew of five, but in moderate spells, the boat balanced well, notching up around 6.5 knots close-hauled, tacking through 80° and adding half a knot on bearing away.

The boat was well powered up under full main and No 3 head sail.

Cockpit lockers can be removed for racing, providing either a huge area for crew to work forward of the traveller, or ample space for fenders and lines.

Beneteau has also eschewed an open racing transom in favour of quarter lockers bridged by a curved seat – making ideal liferaft stowage in between.

The traveller is just forward of the helm and an above-deck mainsheet system leads to the aft winches.

Harken’s Quattro winches allow fast spinnaker control.

Sitting out is easy on the Beneteau First 40.7, whether on the high or low side, and the chunky steering pyramid provides an excellent bracing position.

The helm itself is positive and there’s plenty of grunt in the big wheel to handle the yacht as she powers up even though we were slightly overpowered in the gusts, the rudder never lost grip.

Kevlar steering cables avoid stretch and keep the helm free of slack.

Lines are well laid out, with a long traveller forward of the wheel and plenty of winches.

The Beneteau First 40.7 isn’t quite as stiff as the X-Yachts X-41, but aluminium spars and Dyform rigging still give a balanced response to varying wind conditions.

The six-winch cockpit layout works well for crewed and short-handed sailing.

Lines are led aft to the coach roof and there is plenty of space for the mainsail trimmer forward of the helm – the only tricky control for the crew to access is the hydraulic backstay.

the Beneteau’s spacious cockpit layout.

Under power the boat showed excellent and positive handling characteristics, tracking well astern, turning in 1.25 boat lengths and cruising at about seven knots, with an extra knot in reserve when necessary.

Modern touches aboard the Beneteau First 40.7

Like X-Yachts, Beneteau go for two straight saloon settees, a triangular berth forward and identical twin aft cabins.

But there’s more timber on the Beneteau First 40.7 than the X-Yachts X-41 and curved edges on the saloon table, nav station and galley create a softer look, offset by modern touches such as the matt aluminium grabrails, which also house roller shades – a clever bit of design that avoids curtains on race day.

The Beneteau’s wider beam allows slightly more space below. Note the grabrails housing the blinds.

The forward cabin offers the usual below-berth stowage, although the small deck hatch means spinnaker drops into the cabin are tricky.

The heads to starboard has adequate headroom to shower in comfort.

Stowage onboard the Beneteau First 40.7 is adequate rather than generous. A hanging locker in each cabin and good high­level lockers in the saloon above the settees – and although space below the settees is dedicated to tankage, there are handy spaces behind the seat backs.

Essential wine stowage is in the centre of the table and the galley has plenty of space above the stove, below the sink and in an adjacent cutlery drawer.

The nav station is well set up for racing, with a big, forward-facing chart table and enough space for most gadget addicts.

The pedestal provides a drawer and a locker for stowage plus a handy set of cubby holes behind the navigator’s seat.

The large double berths aft are simple, with stowage beneath the berths and in hanging lockers.

Engine access is through hatches either side of the engine and via the companionway.

The Beneteau First 40.7 has proved a winning formula on the racecourse. And there is little else on the market that offers similar performance and precision at this price. For this reason, the yacht has become a favourite with charter agents. The owner of our test boat, Robert Blackwell, bought her to start a skippered charter business.

Used Beneteau First 40.7 for sale

Beneteau first 42s7, bavaria 400 sport, prestige 34 open, beneteau first 40.7 shallow draft, beneteau first 40.7, the review of our community on the beneteau first 40.7, why trust us , already 29 boats sold through us, all about first 40.7 model.

Most of today's sailboats  are sold as "race-cruisers". This pleasing and appealing term is unfortunately often overused... No, a floating caravan isn't a race-cruiser, but a Beneteau First 40.7 is.

The use is clear from the name, and in that order. They are designed firstly for racing and secondly for cruising! Designed by Farr Yacht Design, a firm specialising in yachts, the First 40.7 does the term proud. During a lengtny career - 11 years between 1997 and 2008 - 650 units have been launched. It's like a real racehorse. It's light and has a lot of sail (6,900 kg for 100 m2 of sail area upwind) and at 12.17 m long and 3.78 m wide, the Beneteau First 40.7 has all the characteristics you would see on a racing yacht . With stiff standing rigging (rods) with 3 sets of spreaders, a hydraulic backstay, adjustable genoa hauling points from the cockpit, removable cockpit lockers to free up space for the grinders, and a steering console with a footrest, means it was a real racer that won the Sydney-Hobart!

But to reduce the Beneteau First 40.7 to a simple sports boat wouldn't be fair. She is a 40 footer that is also perfectly habitable for cruising, with her two cabins and her welcoming saloon, her chart table, her galley and her two bathrooms. A skirt gives you easy access to the water. A perfect cruising yacht to smash it out of the park on the water!
