First 50 :

Briand Yacht Design said of this new model, “We designed the First 50 in the same way as we design superyachts, an exceptional object, featuring the best up to the minute technology and art, to match the owner’s pride.” While the First 50 is designed as a performance/racing yacht, it is those elements which make her such a delight to sail when off the race course.
