Up to 20 Beneteau First 40.7s are available; the 40.7 is one of the most popular cruiser racers on the market and provides exhilarating sailing without the need for a team of professional sailors, although each yacht will have an experienced skipper and crew provided, safety being of prime importance. With its resolutely modern design, the First 40.7 is a true pleasure to sail on; the beautiful hull lines, clean deck layout, and comfortable interior all add up to a fast and functional yacht
Please do not hesitate to let us know should you require any further information; otherwise please contact Simon Boulding at Britannia Corporate Events as early as possible to reserve your entry as we are restricted in the number of boats available.
Simon can be reached on 023 8045 8900 or by emailing simon@britanniaevents.co.uk
