Construction
notes
The BENETEAU FIRST 41S5 was conceived as a high-performance sailboat, combining a solid and reliable construction with a hull design focused on delivering speed, stability, and a great sailing experience.
Its hull is constructed of fiberglass-reinforced polyester (FRP), with a structure designed to withstand the demands of cruising and sport sailing. The hull configuration, along with its fin keel and independent rudder, provides a good balance between stability, maneuverability, and performance.
The deck layout is designed to facilitate sail handling and optimize sailing, while maintaining ample space for movement and maneuvering, ideal for a cruising crew.
One of the highlights of the First 41S5 is its construction philosophy: a light and fast boat, yet robust enough to handle demanding cruising and sailing. Its design follows the principles of the BENETEAU First range, aiming to combine sporty performance with the comfort and livability necessary for enjoying extended periods on board.
A sailboat built for sailing: solid, balanced and with a distinctly sporty character.
