About the FIRST 27-2 (BENETEAU)
In 2018 Beneteau purchased a controlling stake in the Slovenian builder Seascape, bringing all Seascape models into the fold of its First range. Same hull as the First 27 SE. Dual transom mounted rudders.
The Beneteau First 27-2 is a modern fractional sloop designed by Samuel Manuard and built by Beneteau in France, with production starting in 2021. As a recent model with an unknown total build count, it represents the latest iteration of Beneteau's entry-level performance cruiser line.
- Best for:
- This boat is best suited for coastal cruising and weekend sailing, appealing to owners seeking a manageable, modern package with fractional rig efficiency.
- Bluewater capability:
- With a displacement of 3902.0 lb and a capsize ratio of 2.12, the boat is designed for coastal and nearshore use rather than heavy offshore passage making.
- Comparables:
- Comparable boats include the Beneteau First 26 and other sub-30ft performance cruisers from the early 2020s, which share similar fractional rig configurations and target the same entry-level market.
