FIRST 260 SPIRIT (BENETEAU)

  One of their majors attributes is elegance, benefits and functional comfort. The First 260 Spirit is elbowed with greatest, or in terms of comfort (diesel motorization, totally independent washbasin…), of benefits (length in floatation, equipment 9/10…) or of elegance (aggressive silhouette, cover declined in prow, selection of the color of the helmet…).

  Who says First Spirit says speed, and this is one of the reasons for which the 260 First Spirit will seduce to him: the Finot Group, unquestionable when it is benefits, makes benefit integrally this First from its knowledge to do and its experience acquired in all the seas and all the competitions.

  The slim careening of the First 260 Spirit presents/displays a length in almost identical floatation to the length of helmet: all the potential of 7,49m is operated.

  The pivotante keel of 650 kg is another effective gift: surprising stability and qualities verified hydrodynamics.

  Brioso corcel. The sent warlike plane of the First 260 Spirit confers a velocity potential to him that will make wane to many landlords of sailboats rather greater: to a fitted warlike surface in of 36,2m2, they come to add the effectiveness of a powerful major and a Genoa of moderate covering, solution that eliminates the traditional loss of efficiency fade due to I resend of the airflows of Genoa on the greater candle.

  In order to control the fogosidad of the First 260 Spirit, looked for the best technical solution for a sailboat of this dimension: the double rudder. In this way, its First 260 Spirit sails “on rails” in all the courses, even with angles of roll pronounce. It is more, the rudders are elevables, for the purists, means less turbulences in the wake with loose winds. For all, it is the guarantee of a running aground without problems.

  Who says benefits, says to please… to please first of all in the cane, will control his First 260 Sipirit with the end of the fingers, since thanks to its 2 rudders you will obey to him docilely. The cover plane is conceived first of all to be effective: cleared pasavantes, rails of Genoa recentrados, maneuvers resent to the bathtub… the crew will find their place quickly and the best completion or regata or cruise.

  But also a gift for the view. The effectiveness is often beautiful and its 260 First Spirit is a convincing witness: the purity of their lines, the elegance of their silhouette, the slenderness of their equipment really makes of him an exception for a sailboat of these dimensions, where the commitments volume/elegance/benefits are made sometimes to the detriment of the two last ones.

  Who says to please, says coexistence. The First 260 Spirit is a cosy sailboat, or in cover or the interior. First of all, the bathtub: the long lateral banks are conceived so that all the crew can settle comfortably in the port. The dossier the necessary thing is inclined right and the bar of escota is easily detachable in order to clear all the inhabitable space of this part of the boat. On the high seas the angle of the coaming assures a perfect seat to windward for the helmsman and his crew. The feet are supported well in ribbons in theca of the bathtub.

  On the cover and the pasavantes the circulation becomes without problems: no end, no ironwork to zancadillear to the fast crew member…

  As far as the inner distributions the tone of the First 260 Spirit is given by the amplitude of the hatchway of reduction (in two parts), surprising for a sailboat of 26 feet.

  In salóndel First 260 Spirit, the volume is impressive and the Spirit atmosphere takes all their dimension. The natural clarity stays by two great abribles hatchways and the sliding hatchway of the slope, without forgetting the “company/signature” Spirit: 2 small round openings of helmet that add a touch of light to the functional set treated in cherry tree and contramoldeado in ivory. On both sides of the great table, two bunks/sidewalks one of which it is transformed into double bunk.

  To port of the slope, the kitchen in “L” of the First 260 Spirit is complete, with its refrigerator, its fregadera and its numerous spaces of rammer.

  In starboard the navigation position will surprise by its comfort and the number to him of spaces available.

  To prow of the hall the sliding door gives access to the entirely independent compartment of toilets with marine WC, locker to starboard and washbasin to port. One second sliding door abre on the stateroom of prow with its double bed and its spaces of rammer, without forgetting a great hatchway for the ventilation.

  Benefits, pleasure, comfort… do not matter what is their program of navigation, the First 260 Spirit will know to respond with fervor to which You wish.
