Beneteau First 35 Carbon

The First 35 is an enduring brand, evolving and improving since the original First 35 came out in 1980. This new boat looks a lot different than its ancestor, with a carbon rig, including a retractable carbon sprit for an asymmetrical spinnaker, and a rocking carbon wheel. The wheel frees up space in the cockpit. LOA 35’7”; Beam 11’11”; Draft 5’11” (shoal), 7’3” (deep); Displ. 12,122 lbs.; Sail area 670 sq. ft., www.beneteauamerica.com. Price: $235,900
