First Yacht 53

The First Yacht 53 is a happy mix of classic and modern lines. With a straight slender bow providing plenty of forward space and a 16-foot maximum beam further aft, she immediately stands out for her sturdy seaworthy looks. The cockpit has been studied in detail to ensure nothing can obstruct forward movement: maneuvering close-hauled from the twin helm stations with easy access to the side decks, space given over completely to relaxation near the companionway. With a flush deck, low coachroof, and a sleek modern look, she has all the virtues of a thoroughbred. The First Yacht 53 marks a new era with a top-quality mast, high-end deck gear, and a powerful sail plan that is easily controlled by a shorthanded crew.
