The First 25.7 is a development of the Beneteau First 260 Spirit and was developed into the Beneteau First 25S in 2008.[1][3]
Production
editThe design was built by Beneteau in France and in the United States, but is now out of production.[1][3][4]
Design
editThe First 25.7 is a recreational keelboat, built predominantly of fiberglass, with wood trim. It has a fractional sloop rig, a plumb stem, a vertical transom, dual transom-hung rudders controlled by a tiller and a centreboard or optional fixed fin keel. It displaces 4,740 lb (2,150 kg) and carries 1,433 lb (650 kg) of ballast.[1][3]
The keel-equipped version of the boat has a draft of 4.76 ft (1.45 m), while the centreboard-equipped version has a draft of 6.07 ft (1.85 m) with the centreboard extended and 2.79 ft (0.85 m) with it retracted.[1][3]
The boat is optionally fitted with a Nanni Industries diesel engine of 14 hp (10 kW). The fuel tank holds 8 U.S. gallons (30 L; 6.7 imp gal) and the fresh water tank has a capacity of 10 U.S. gallons (38 L; 8.3 imp gal).[1][3]
The design has a hull speed of 6.58 kn (12.19 km/h).[3][5]
