Bénéteau First 41S5 for sale

Versatility, marine qualities and original solutions are the strong points of the First 41 s5, which was born from the collaboration between Bénéteau and naval architect Philippe Strack. Produced in about 350 units from 1989 to 1994, it was offered with three keel versions: fin keel with low draft, long keel in cast iron or, in the sportier version, a lead keel. The design of the coachroof is pleasing, rounded and fitted with numerous hatches, although it certainly does not facilitate crew mobility in demanding sailing conditions. The mast, with a 9/10 fractional rig, has two sets of spreaders swept aft with no running backstays. The look of the interior is also curious, thanks to the rounded shapes of the fittings in red mahogany and satin-finished aluminium.
