Designed by Groupe Finot, and built from 1982/3 to 1989/90, the Beneteau First 24 is a small fast cruiser or club racer, with good accommodation for her size, including a separate double aft cabin.

The design was built with either a fixed fin keel of 4' 0" draught, or a pivoting centreboard giving a draught of about 2' 7" raised, and about 5' 3" down. The centreboard does not fully retract into the hull, making the interior much more usable, but means that if dried out on a hard bottom she will lean over.

Only outboard power was offered, with a well in the cockpit for the engine. The usual engine size is between 6 and 9 hp.

Given that Beneteau are packing 5 berths, and a separate heads compartment and aft cabin
into a nominally 24 foot hull (actually a little longer), the open-plan forepeak is probably the
best option for giving an open feel to the saloon. The centreboard is raised and lowered
with a winch handle on the socket at the aft end of the saloon table. The centreboard and it's
raising/lowering mechanism on this boat was removed and overhauled last year
