Beneteau First 20
The Beneteau First 20 is a French trailerable sailboat that was designed by Finot/Conq as a cruiser-racer and first built in 2011.
The boat is a development of the Beneteau First 210 and Beneteau First 211.
The design was built by Beneteau in France, from 2011 to 2018, but it is now out of production.
The First 20 is a recreational keelboat, built predominantly of glassfibre, with wood trim. The hull is solid fibreglass and the deck is balsa-cored. It has a fractional sloop rig with a square-top mainsail, roller furling jib, no backstay, a deck-stepped mast, one set of swept spreaders and aluminium spars with continuous 1X19 stainless steel wire standing rigging, plus a fibreglass bowsprit. There is no interior cabin mast post and instead the surrounding structure takes the mast compression load. The hull has a plumb stem; a vertical transom; dual, angled, transom-hung rudders controlled by a tiller and a fixed stub keel with a retractable centreboard. It displaces 2,745 lb (1,245 kg) empty and carries 661 lb (300 kg) of cast iron ballast.
The boat has a draft of 5.91 ft (1.80 m) with the centreboard extended and 2.30 ft (0.70 m) with it retracted, allowing operation in shallow water or ground transportation on a trailer.
The boat is normally fitted with a small 4 to 10 hp (3 to 7 kW) outboard motor for docking and maneuvering.
The design has sleeping accommodation for four people, with a double "V"-berth berth in the bow cabin and two quarter berths aft, under the cockpit sides. The galley is located on both sides just aft of bow cabin. The galley is equipped with a single-burner stove and a sink. Cabin headroom is 58 in (147 cm).
For sailing downwind the design may be equipped with an asymmetrical spinnaker of 265 sq ft (24.6 m2) or a code 0 sail of 161 sq ft (15.0 m2) flown from the bowsprit.
