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. |
