First 27 SE

The First 27 SE brings the high-tech performance, events and expertise from the very top of competitive sailing within the reach of the recreational sailor. Ship designer Samuel Manuard and design firm Sito have designed a lightweight yet rigid, vacuum-infused hull, enabling the boat to achieve impressive planing speeds without compromising on structural strength.

Whether you’re sailing solo, as a pair or with a full crew, the First 27 SE offers a stunning sailing experience, with a balanced twin-rudder system, innovative carbon rigging without backstays and excellent initial stability, even at high speed. A particular highlight is the modular, weight-conscious interior with space for six adults: magnetic doors make the central section multifunctional, and a swing keel system makes the boat trailable – a rare combination for an 8-metre performance sailer. The First 27 SE won, amongst other accolades, the title of European Yacht of the Year.
