Performance & Design

The First 27 SE is a true planing yacht, capable of effortless double-digit speeds. Designed by Manuard YD and built by Seascape for Beneteau, it combines a lightweight vacuum-infused hull with a powerful carbon rig and twin rudders for control at speed.

Blizzard benefits from a refurbished carbon rig (2024) and multiple rigging upgrades, delivering both performance and reliability.
