SAILING EXPERIENCE

THE DESIGN

The First 53 is a deft execution of style and power, an ocean-racing thoroughbred aptly camouflaged behind a sleek, stylish figure. The gentle reverse sheer and low-slung coachroof makes her look fast even when she is immobile. Her performance mast, high-end deck gear, and finely tuned hull deliver unparalleled thrills in any condition, whether enjoying a doublehanded sunset run or a fully crewed offshore race.

The modern, almost minimalist interior represents a true departure from the norm, offering a completely reimagined living space with a focus on practicality, comfort, and style. To starboard, a dedicated home-style couch is the ideal place for lounging and relaxation, and to port, the extendable dinner table offers up to six seats without permanently taking up room in the salon. Polished, molded woods pleasantly contrast with the lacquered white bulkheads, creating a bright feeling that is also undeniably warm. Well-placed hatches and windows ensure excellent ventilation and infuse the interior with an abundance of natural light.
