All about First 18 model
The First 18: a boat that looks like a racer
The First 18 draws on a century of experience in shipbuilding at the Beneteau shipyard. Its robustness and long life are closely linked to the quantity and quality of the materials used as well as their application. Each First 18 is placed in a pool on completion to check that it is flawlessly watertight and to run a full range of tests on the engine.
The First 18 has fine, elegant lines. The wide flat stern means this boat can go at incredible speeds downwind and has excellent stability. Upwind, the First 18 is powerful and safe in strong winds. This is when it really comes into its own as a cruiser!
The rigging is very sophisticated for a sailboat under 7 metres long. The lifting keel reduces the draft to 55 cm. This makes getting into shallow water easier and also helps with transporting and beaching the boat.
First 18: Organize the purchase of your boat
How to buy your boat?
Becoming a boat owner is a wonderful dream come true. To get there, be patient and do your research daily because new announcements arrive every day and the silhouette of your future boat may be hiding there! Band of Boats highlights the location of the boat and its key characteristics, and also offers you similar models to broaden your search scope. Once you've found the boat model that meets all of your criteria, all you need to do is message the seller directly from the listing.
Need to transport your boat?
Remember to organize the transport of your boat to its home port. If it is a small boat, you can manage the transport yourself by purchasing a suitable trailer. If, on the contrary, the boat reaches a certain size, it is better to use the services of a company specializing in exceptional transport. Do not hesitate to ask the seller to manage the transport arrangements for the boat.
Want to control your budget?
There are many boat buying options that allow you to stay on top of your budget. Multiply the purchase simulations with several banking establishments and find the best financing solution to buy your boat.
