Proven Farr performance | Extensively upgraded | Race-ready.

The Beneteau First 47.7 is widely regarded as one of the finest yachts ever produced by Beneteau Yachts, and this example stands out as one of the best-kept examples we have encountered.

Designed by Farr Yacht Design, her powerful hull form, deep performance keel and balanced rudder deliver exceptional speed and control. The triple-spreader race rig provides stiffness and drive, making her equally rewarding whether racing hard around the cans or enjoying a fast coastal passage.

On Deck

The cockpit and deck layout are purpose-built for performance sailing, featuring high-quality deck hardware and Lewmar winches throughout. Recently replaced teak in the cockpit enhances both aesthetics and grip, while numerous racing upgrades and fully updated running rigging ensure safe, efficient handling week in, week out.

Below Deck

Downstairs, Carla M impresses with a level of fit-out and joinery rarely seen in modern production yachts. The 3- cabin, 2-head owner's version is spacious, light-filled
