Two brand new FIRST 40s, TWO TRUE and WICKED took the two first places overall under IRC division in the 628 miles Sydney-Hobart Race.
They completed the course (between Sydney Harbour and Hobart in Tasmania) in 3 days and 23 hours.
Only 20 minutes separated these two FIRST 40s on the finish line.
They finished two hours ahead of their third rival on corrected time.
TWO TRUE also came first overall in the ORCI class.
The FIRST 40 takes over therefore from the prestigious FIRST 40.7, which had taken the honours in 2003 on the same course.

It is an historic occasion to see two identical FIRST 40s taking  the first two places in a competition that brings together such a varied fleet from 100 foot super-maxis to 33 foot sailing yachts in this 64th Sydney-Hobart Race.

Andrew Saies first comments :
“Great boat, this new Beneteau. It just jumps out of the water, jumped a bit too hard in the last day or so in those big short waves. It’s a fast boat, we had belief that this boat was going to rate well and do okay in this event, if the weather conditions allowed a small boat event.”

In the Cruising category, the OCEANIS 50 HOLY COW claimed first place ahead of another BENETEAU, the OCEANIS 37 LIVEWIRE.

Well done to all these crews, and you will find full details on the BENETEAU YACHT CLUB site very shortly.

Grand slam for the Trawler Range, after the ST42 in 2004 and last year the ST52, the new ST34 has been elected boat of the year 2010 in the category “trawlers & aft cabin”.
This event was organised by Motor Boat and Yachting and Motor Boat Monthly.

6 NEW BOATS TO BE LAUNCHED AT THE PARIS BOAT SHOW:

OCEANIS 58

Aft platform space like you’ve never seen before! 2.65 by 1.35 metres! Swimming, sunbathing (in deck chairs, if you like), dinghy storage…

the possibilities are infinite! The arch frees the cockpit from all the mainsail control lines, which are led back to the helm positions. Sailing is easier

and suddenly the cockpit has much more space in which to enjoy life. The Oceanis 58 also offers real blue water cruising solutions like the arch/davit

for solar panels and wind generators and large-capacity tanks.

ANTARES 6.80

Along the same lines as the new Antares out board : 5.80 and 7.50, the Antares 6.80 perfectly replaces the Antares 650 : more living space and more comfort on board with its 3 leafs window, more performance with a new certified hull up to 115 hp.

ANTARES 30S S

The Antares 30 S keeps the qualities of the Antares 30, without the flybridge.

Dedicated to a cruising program, you enter the large Antares range at a  good price either with 260 hp or 380 hp.

ANTARES 42

An Antares has never offered such a large living space ! Designed for cruising with the family, the Antarès 42 offers larger volume : saloon with vis-à-vis, large Flybridge, 2 cabins, 2 washrooms, a convertible saloon for 6 berths…on one of the most efficient hull on the market.

MONTECARLO 42

This new model equipped with the Z drive (2×370 hp), with an air-step hull and a Joystick, a guarantee of performance, comfort, sensations &

manoeuvrability. Pierangelo Andréani , the designer of MonteCarlo range has created a new jewel : style, elegance, and … large living space. Dedicated to sport cruising the MC42 offers tremendous volumes, a rare comfort, in a very popular size…42 feet for less than 4m wide.

SWIFT TRAWLER 34S

The Swift Trawler 34S, with a 330 hp engine, has the same size as the ST34, with the same volumes, the fly is just replaced by a large roof, and an

attractive price.

Unanimously acclaimed by customers at this autumn’s boat shows, the all-new FIRST 35 has now been awarded the status of FRENCH Boat of the Year by a judging panel of sailing trade professionals and sailors

“The boat is totally consistent with its goals”: that was what came out of the comments made by the judging panel who responded to an invitation by Voile Magazine to sail off La Rochelle! A First with real character and an    aggressive, flattering profile that promises a level of performance consistent with the top steps of the podium! The judges also praised the ease and precision of its helm, its cockpit ergonomics for boat handling when fully crewed, and the versatility of its interior for both cruising and racing. They were especially attracted by one detail in particular: the double doors to the fore cabin, combined with the pivoting saloon table. This concept creates an impressive feeling of space that surprises everyone!
