All about First 260 Spirit version
First 260 Spirit: the family spirit!
In the early 1990s, Bénéteau decided to give fresh impetus to the First series. The aim was to rediscover the spirit and fundamentals of sailing: the pleasure of sailing aboard a boat that is easy, efficient, seaworthy and above all simple – a simple spirit in a simple hull, so to speak!
The result was the 210, which was followed by the First 260 Spirit. The hull is elegant, dressed in navy blue. The deck layout is comfortable, and four people can move about without getting in each other's way. All operations are handled from the cockpit, whose coamings are perfectly designed for hiking. The rigging with its low overlapping jib is easy to handle and performs well, and the same spirit can be found under the waterline, with a lifting keel that many boaters prefer to a fixed one.
This keel remains external and protects the hull well during grounding, for which shores remain necessary nevertheless. The two rudder blades allow for efficient control of the boat, even when the wind picks up, and the fixtures and fittings are impressive, whether at sea or docked. These are classic in design, with a chart table and galley on either side of the ramp. The saloon benches are sensibly placed on either side of the table, from which the keel mechanism emerges.
Finally, the front cabin has a door. Twenty-five years after its launch, the First 260 Spirit has lost none of its original spirit and remains one of the most commendable boats for anyone who wants to sail simply and without breaking the bank!
