WHY FIRST 27 SE?

SUPER-FAST

Thanks to her modern design and building technologies, the First 27 SE is a true high-performance planing sailboat, which easily achieves thrilling double-digit speeds and delivers an incomparable sailing experience. 

SAFE

Her superb seaworthiness, which has crowned the boat with a category B rating, is thanks to meticulous boat design, cutting-edge building technology, and many safety features: three separated air-tight chambers, a swinging keel system in case of grounding, and increased bow volume with crash box.

ONE DESIGN 

The One Design racing calendar comprises events 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 that will put your skills to the test.

TRAILERABLE

Thanks to her hydraulically-operated swinging keel, light structure, light carbon mast, and a beam just below the width limit, she is entirely trailerable, making her convenient for various races and sailing adventures.

SAILING EXPERIENCE

Planing at double-digit speeds is easier than ever. The First 27 SE promises a thrilling and pure sailing experience. She sources her performance from a modern hull design and light but stiff vacuum-infused hull construction. She has a hull with very high initial stability, a deep lead-bulb keel, an easily-handled carbon rig, and a large square-top mainsail without a backstay or runners. Smart cockpit ergonomics and a balanced twin-rudder steering system all empower her sailors to handle her with confidence. No matter if you're sailing solo, double-handed, or fully crewed, the First 27 SE will reward you with an astonishing sailing experience and pure joy under the sail. 

LIVING ONBOARD

The First 27 SE is the only Category B trailerable 27ft boat on the market with a fully functional interior. What might look minimalistic is an extremely weight-sensitive interior, where all components are also functioning as part of the boat's structure. She can accommodate up to 6 adults, 2 in a separated bow cabin, and 4 in the salon. Thanks to innovative magnetic doors, the mid-section of the boat can be converted to house a proper marine toilet, or used as a front cabin extension or "wet-room" for sail-changes. She also offers crew bags for personal belongings, a fridge, a foldable table, and a sail-locker. Combined with other practicalities, these make her the ultimate adventure cruiser for sailing connoisseurs. Lastly, everything is modular so that the weight can be adjusted for racing endeavors.

COMMUNITY

The International Owners Community and events calendar enable owners to challenge themselves in long-distance races.

The First 27 SE has placed or won in notable races such as the Chicago-Mac and Silverrudder, and offers the opportunity for sailors to challenge themselves in a wide variety of environments and racing grounds.
