The vessel being described is a modern sailboat called the First 27. It is designed for fun and exciting downwind planing sailing while also being comfortable enough for families to enjoy a cruise and competitive enough to win trophies at club races. The boat can accommodate up to six people and has a separate bow-cabin, an open space saloon, a galley with fresh water, a fridge, and a separate classic marine toilet.
The First 27 has a low centre of gravity keel and a light vacuum-infused hull, which makes it fast, stable, and safe, providing an exhilarating planing sailing experience. The boat is designed to be very secure and steady due to its unsinkable hull that has three insubmersibility compartments, balanced twin rudders, a crash-box, and an inboard engine.
The cockpit is designed for ease of handling, regardless of whether the vessel is operated single-handedly, double-handedly, or with a full crew, with minimized and simplified deck controls, double winches, and a perfectly balanced steering system.
The boat is powered by a dependable 15 HP inboard engine utilizing a straightforward linear shaft drive and foldable propeller, resulting in swift cruising speeds. The First 27 is also fully available, providing a new level of freedom, allowing for exploration of distant shores without long sea deliveries, saving on marina costs, and storing the boat in your backyard during the offseason.
The vessel's stable hull is wide and flat, with a lead T-bulb keel, allowing it to start planing in winds as low as 12 knots. The interior is simple and lightweight, yet provides all the essential amenities needed for comfortable living onboard, including sleeping accommodations for up to six adults, a galley area featuring a gas burner and a sink with fresh water, and a removable table and fridge in the open and bright saloon area.
This boat features a mobile application called Seanapps, which includes an onboard unit allowing you to access and monitor the status of various boat systems, such as battery charge, fuel and water tank levels, and maintenance scheduling all from your smartphone. You can also plan your route and review your sailing status with ease using your mobile phone. The Seanapps application and onboard unit offer you a simple and convenient way to stay informed about your boat's systems and plan your sailing trips.
