The Beneteau First 33.7 is a 32-foot cruiser-racer designed by Berret-Racoupeau and built from 1996 to 2000, with approximately 250 hulls completed. She strikes a balance between spirited performance and a well-appointed cruising interior, featuring a deep fin keel with lead ballast, a fractional sloop rig, and a semi-battened mainsail. The 33.7 was conceived as a versatile one-design that could compete effectively in club racing while still serving as a comfortable coastal cruiser. Her light displacement and stiff rig make her quick and responsive in a breeze.
