BOAT INFORMATION

Customizable Boat: Fort Lauderdale

Beneteau First 18 SE

The First 18 SE (Special Edition) is an 18-foot sport sailboat designed to offer an exciting and versatile sailing experience. Perfect for both beginners and seasoned sailors, it combines a modern design with exceptional performance. Its planing hull, crafted by renowned designer Sam Manuard, ensures speed and stability in various conditions, making it a reliable choice for competitive regattas or relaxed coastal adventures.

Equipped with a retractable keel, the First 18 SE can navigate shallow waters with a minimum draft of 2.6 feet (0.8 m) and reach a maximum depth of 5 feet (1.5 m) for enhanced stability in stronger winds. This feature, along with its lightweight design of just 1,250 pounds (567 kg), makes it easy to transport by trailer, ideal for sailors looking to explore different destinations or store the boat conveniently on land.

The sailboat is optimized for performance with a sail configuration that includes a 115 sq. ft. (10.7 m²) mainsail, a 65 sq. ft. (6 m²) jib, and an optional 290 sq. ft. (27 m²) gennaker to maximize wind power. A portable fuel tank of up to 3 gallons (11 liters) supports a small outboard motor, simplifying navigation in harbors or windless areas.

Despite its compact size, the First 18 SE features a basic cabin that can accommodate two people, making it suitable for short getaways or overnight stays under the stars. With its balance of speed, ease of handling, and comfort, this 18-foot sailboat is the perfect choice for those seeking a practical, high-performing vessel for endless adventures on the water.

Disclaimer

The Company offers the details of this vessel in good faith but cannot guarantee or warrant the accuracy of this information nor warrant the condition of the vessel. A buyer should instruct his agents, or his surveyors, to investigate such details as the buyer desires validated. This vessel is offered subject to prior sale, price change, or withdrawal without notice.

EASY HANDLING

The First 18 SE can be easily sailed by a crew of 1 to 3 people thanks to a large and clean cockpit, a furling jib, a gennaker snuffer system, a high boom and a mast without a backstay, which allows for a bigger square-top mainsail.

COMMUNITY

The One Design racing calendar comprises everything from fully crewed windward-leeward races to adventurous long-distance double-handed or solo challenges. Whichever you choose, you can count on the friendly community of like-minded sailors. 

GO ANYWHERE

A retractable keel, removable rudder blades, and a light carbon mast make the First 18 SE truly trailable and easily-launched, enabling you to discover new places, attend international events and meet new sailors. 

SAFETY

The First 18 SE is one of the safest in her category. Unsinkable chambers make her insubmersible, a swinging keel prevents structural damage in case of grounding, and twin rudders give you complete control for safe downwind planing.
