First 53f5
The sensation mixed with the power and agility that is the First 53F5, is quite simply the expression of a triple talent. The talent of Beneteau, of Pininfarina and of Bruce Farr. A yacht for ocean-going cruises but perfectly at ease amongst the finest Admiral's Cup fleet, daring to be faster than the one-off IOR 50 footers - something that has rarely been seen. Unique surroundings created by the finest materials, curved forms, intelligently distributed lighting, an inventory both aesthetic and functional. The twin leather sheathed steering wheels leave the cockpit clear and allow the helmsman to be in the best observation position constantly, upwind or downwind. The First 53F5. Her symbolic flower - the Compass Rose!
