Whether you love offshore, beer-can racing, or fast cruising, the Beneteau First Class 10 has outstanding performance. Designed by Jean-Marie Finot and Jacques Fouroux and made to go fast she was a favorite of Fastnet racers in the late 80's. With 34.33ft length and 9.67ft beam she displaces under 6900 pounds with a generous standard sail plan: 518 sqft upwind and a variety of spinnakers.
Despite her light displacement and powerful rig, the First Class 10 is very safe. Structurally strong, the underwater lines give her great stability and is easy on the helm. When a gust hits she just leans over more ... and that’s fun, and it increases the waterline line length for increased maximum hull speed. Downwind she's up on a plane before you know it.
Comfortable and FunctionalThe long lines of the First Class 10 offer plenty of space outside and a comfortable interior. The cockpit has 7ft long benches with easy backrests providing a generous amount of space for up to eight, and an open transom with wide swim platform makes it easy to walk into the boat from the dock or climb out of the water. When racing it's easy to climb onto the wide side deck and steer from there with the tiller extension.
The electronics have all been updated with comprehensive wind/speed/depth sensors, dual i70 displays in the cockpit and a computer calculating true wind and able to display this on a local boat-WiFi network. The shore-WiFi connection allows continuous remote monitoring of critical information. The computer runs OpenCPN on a Raspberry Pi with many other functions, including automated data monitoring and triggering alarms as called for. A wireless Multi Function Display provides access to all electronic data and is fully programmable.
She has tiller steering and a robust Pelagic auto-pilot with a wireless remote control (the same one the single-handed Transpac sailors rely on).
Below-deck the nav station has a forward-facing chart table with chart stowage and reading lamp. To port, the galley has a sink and two-burner alcohol stove. Six can sleep on board as the accommodation includes one double birth forward, two singles in the saloon and another double in the aft cabin with a porthole opening into the cockpit.
Racing rigShe is in excellent condition with a full inventory of sails under 4 years old and rigged for both symmetrical spinnaker with a carbon pole and asymmetrical with a retractable Selden sprit. With practice she can be sailed to her NO CAL PHRF of 90. Rudder size was increased to accomodate local weather conditions, and The First Class 10 can maintain full sails even in a freshening breeze. The Keel-stepped mast is firmly controlled by running back-stays, check-stays and double spreaders. Deck equipment includes of two self-tailing Anderson headsail/main winches, two self-tailing runner winches, two halyard winches (all winches are two-speed). A central back-stay with 32:1 purchase makes it easy to bend the flexible mast for fine control of the mainsail shape. The outhaul is led to the cabin top for easy adjustment underway. A two-speed main-sheet and 4:1 traveler allow for precise adjustments and swift tacking. Forward, the crew may change jibs without losing a second thanks to the twin groove foil on the forestay.
