Overview
About this vessel
The Beneteau First 40.7 is a true icon in the world of performance cruising and offshore racing. Designed by Bruce Farr, this 2001 model perfectly blends competitive speed with comfort and functionality, making it one of the most versatile yachts in her class. With a proven regatta pedigree — including multiple podium finishes in events like the Sydney to Hobart — the First 40.7 is known for its fast, stable hull, efficient deck layout and balanced helm. Whether you're looking to win on the racecourse or cruise the coast in style, this boat delivers.
Adios is a lovely example of the hugely popular and globally regarded Beneteau First 40.7, only ever lightly raced and cruised since her launch. Fitted with the deep lead race keel, triple spreader Sparcraft mast (rigging due for replacement) and high spec Lewmar deck gear, she has all the right elements to go sailing fast — however, due to her low key sailing life, she presents beautifully inside and on deck without the tarnished effect of a heavy racing career.
A rare chance to own a lightly used, well-presented First 40.7 with race-ready pedigree and cruising comfort in equal measure.
