2005 Beneteau First 21.7 S6m

This "pocket-rocket" cruiser-racer boasts an enviable level of equipment and a roomy interior. She is a cruiser in a class of her own.

• The hull is a single-skinned GRP laminate.
• A structural inner moulding formed with unidirectional materials is bonded and laminated to the hull at various points. This plays an important structural role by absorbing the loads and pressure points (shroud chain-plate tie rods, keel, rudder, etc.) throughout the structure, spreading these to reduce stresses on the hull. The surface material of the inner moulding makes it easier to clean and provides a better finish.
• Buoyancy foam sections are distributed within the hull structure.
• The hull gel coat is grey in colour.

• The light coloured woodwork is pear-coloured Mukali.
