For numerous
years the boats have been enriched with many important elements as well as others
secondary and their prices increased as a consequence. With the First 211, in the
continuance of the First 210 we return to the heart of the matter, it's to say to go to sea in a
- reliable, safe,
- practical,
- and easy way.

Progress of the boat

Control:
To steer well sat, the First 211 has benches
and gangways.
All the operations (the sheet of foresail, halyard of
mainsail, the grip of reef) can be done easily from the
cockpit.
The foresail with roller furler is
reduced quickly.
The shrouds return on the deck line that allows to have a mast and
shrouds lighter and more solid.
A jib without overlapping contributes to express tackings without
fatigue; it is only necessary to adjust exactly the outhall of this one.
The crew sits either on the benches, or on the gangways to sit out
in a comfortable way. |
Inside
- 4 berths (2 central at stern + 1 double at bow)
organized around a small kitchen on each side of the centreboard case.
- A small table places itself between the two berths. People can sit
convivial between 4 and 6 persons to drink or to eat.
- Well sitting without hitting the head.
- The sliding hatch gets up so as to stand up, during mooring.
- Standion was replaced by a great central deck beam in order
to arrange a great space.

Safety
Under the backing plate, at stern as well as at bow, a
volume of foam rubber guarantees the unsinkability.
Even full of water the boat by its stability holds itself straight ahead.
The important ballast gives this good stability, so slept on the
water, it can carry a mass of 35 kg in the top of the hounds.
The raisable keel (by manual jack) allows the easy transport of the boat as well as to come near the beaches.
The deep keel in low position gives a good stability and a good tacking progress. With
raised keel the draft is 70 cms. |
Structure

Equipments
The First 211 has surprising equipments for a sailboat of this size: great cockpit with
lateral lockers, anchor's locker, wide gangways... |
Faithful to the spirit of the
groupe Finot, the First 211 allows to go to sea in a sure way, practise, easy and to get a maximum of
pleasure. |
