Details
The Beneteau First 40.7, designed by Bruce Farr and introduced in 1999, is a highly successful 39-foot racer/cruiser known for its competitive performance, versatility, and comfortable interior. With over 800 built, it features a fast hull, large steering wheel, and a functional cabin designed for both serious racing and weekend cruising. Practical Sailor.
Lanikai is a well maintained Racer/cruiser. With a multitude of sails she will do well around the marks. Her interior is like a new vessel as the owner never used her originals cushions and kept them stored until now. Instead she made a set of cushions to be used for racing and the crew. The white cushions are her original ones but the other set conveys as well. Diver was just down and cleaned her bottom and said she is looking good.
The boat is frequently praised for its ability to hold its own in serious racing while providing a comfortable, spacious environment for family outings or live-aboard cruising.
