• The locker catches are of the spring-loaded type.
• Doors and door frames: Communicating door frames in moulded wood are very wide, allowing ease of movement throughout the boat.
• The doors are locked by lever type spring locks, with independent locking device.
• Flooring and leather work:
• The cabin mattresses have removable covers(standard
  version: ecru and blue spots) and the standard saloon cushions covered in un-dyed leather (Fiesta one foam) are easy to look after and stain/ water resistant.
• The floor boards are made of varnished hydropont (marine quality) with a thin black line. They have an excellent finish, and are silent, easy to maintain, strong and insulating.

• The cockpit is laid out in such a way that navigation and maneuvering are easier with lots of storage space, sheets and halyards led back to the cockpit,etc.
• The cockpit has 5 storage lockers: (the locker lids are made using injection techniques which gives them a perfect finish)
• 2 extra deep stern lockers providing ample storage space.
• 2 easy to access lateral lockers under the cockpit seats.
• 1 storage box capable of holding two large capacity gas bottles.
• There is a specific storage location,which is easy to get at,specially designed for the life raft (under the removable helmsman's seat).
• The cockpit seats are covered in teak and the sides forming the back are reclining for extra comfort.
• They are divided to provide the helmsman with better seating space (lined with teak).The seats are edged with "drainage grooves" for good water evacuation.
• The cockpit is self-draining.

POWER SUPPLY

• The 12 V electric circuit is supplied by two 140 A start and service batteries.
• The battery isolation switches (+/-), located in the aft cabin, protect the circuits
• A voltmeter and ammeter enable good management of the battery installation.

ELECTRICAL NETWORK

• Specific beams are inlaid in the deck to supply the integrated lighting in the deck head as well as various electrical appliances(pumps,windlass,navigation lights,etc.).
• Pre-cabled sheaths are pre-positioned to make it easier to install options.

BATTERY CHARGING

• By alternator (power depending on engine specifications) attached to the engine.
• 220 V shore power supply (protected by a circuit breaker).

ELECTRICAL PANEL

• A 12V backlit electric panel,16 functions(with labels and identification) is located above the chart table.
• A cigarette lighter socket is located on the panel.
• The electric panel provides power consumption information: the capacity of the various tanks can be visualized with a water gauge using a selector knob.\

LIGHTING & SOCKETS

• 21 halogen lights (reading spotlights) diffuse light for greater comfort inside.
• 5 power outlets have been installed(in the cabins,galley and above the chart table).
• Navigation lights
• Anchor light.
• Steaming light.

• The hull is made of solid GRP laminate. Hull capping and occasional reinforced areas (keel, rudder, chain plates, deck line), strengthen the overall structure.
• The hull is optimally protected from osmosis phenomena,thanks to the application of vinylester resin precoating.
• A structural solid laminate inner structural grid is achieved through the use of biaxial and unidirectional material. It is glued to the hull and randomly laminated. Its structural function is important, since it makes it possible to pick out all the pressure and stress points (chain plate, shroud, keel, and rudder tie rods, etc.) guaranteeing even distribution and less strain on the hull. It also ensures a good finish to the bilges and simplifies cleaning and maintenance.
• The structural bulkheads made of marine plywood are sealed to the hull for extra rigidity.
• The hull is white in color, with grey livery.

• The deck is built in sandwich (fiberglass/balsa/GRP) for an optimal rigidity-lightness ratio.
• There are solid laminate reinforcement areas under the deck gear (winches,tracks, chain plates,cleats).
• All the working and movement areas on the deck have been given a non-skid gel coat pattern.
• The whole of the deck has been given a solid laminate inner lining, including the structural beams, which are sealed to the deck to give a perfect finish(integrated lighting, finish, access to deck gear fitting screws,etc.)

The feedback provided by over 550 owners of the First 40.7 has been instrumental for Farr Yacht Design and the Beneteau Design Team to create the NEW Beneteau First 44.7. The First 40.7, designed by the same team, is a world best seller with a record of race titles, including an IMS World Championship. Her success is not due to race results alone. The 40.7 offers rare versatility, outstanding value, and consistently high resale value as will the NEW Beneteau First 44.7.
