Tartan 30: An Affordable Classic: https://www.practical-sailor.com/sailboat-reviews/tartan-30/

If you’re searching for fast cruising sailboats that don’t sacrifice comfort, the Beneteau First 40.7 might be one of the best answers ever built. In this Practical Sailor review, we take a deep dive into the Bruce Farr–designed Beneteau First series, including the First 40.7, First 36.7, and First 34.7.

These performance cruisers blend race-winning hull design with practical interiors, making them some of the most well-rounded sailboats on the used market today. If you’ve been looking for a sailboat that’s actually fun to sail but still comfortable enough for family cruising, this is a must-watch.

We cover the history of the Beneteau and Bruce Farr partnership, what makes these boats sail so well, real-world performance, ownership considerations, and whether these are truly “the fast sailboats your spouse will love.” Whether you’re researching the best performance cruising sailboats, affordable used sailboats, or trying to find the perfect balance between speed and comfort, this video breaks it all down in a clear, practical way to help you decide if the First 40.7 or its smaller siblings are right for you.
