Production model
First 24
Built by Beneteau
A 24 ft 7 in fractional sloop designed by Group Finot, built from 1982 to 1985. She carries 8 ft 2 in beam, 4 ft 9 in draft and 3,602 lb displacement. Hull form is swing keel. About 677 were built.
Narrow and short enough to trailer behind an ordinary vehicle without a permit, which is most of the appeal of a boat this size. Beneteau are a French yard dating back to 1884 and one of the two largest sailboat builders in the world. The First line is the performance side and the Oceanis line the cruising side.
