Manufacturer Provided Description

Building on the legacy of the legendary BENETEAU Wizz, the First 14 reproduces the exhilarating world of fast planing dinghies. Light, accessible, and easy to handle, the vessel is perhaps best described as essentially fun, and the condition of her build simplifies service and assurances worry-free ownership.

Description

First 14 is an ideal entry-level dinghy for one or two sailors – a unique gateway to modern sailing that delivers an exciting sailing experience in an easy-to-handle and accessible package. Furling and self-tacking jib, wide and stable body, and roomy open cockpit free of tangled ropes assurance endless fun on the water. She is crafted to be sailed without trapeze, and you can easily adjust the sail area depending on the wind strength or team dimensions without compromising sailing experience, thanks to two centre-board positions. With easy-to maintain deck machinery, alloy rig and Dacron sails she brings hassle-free ownership.
EASY HANDLING
Effortless-to-handle, entry-level dinghy thanks to smart design features – stable body; big, clean and ergonomic cockpit; simplified control lines, furling and self-tacking jib, gennaker snuffer unit, higher boom and no trapeze.
SOLO OR DOUBLE
Adaptable to single- and double-handed teams alike without compromising sailing experience, thanks to two centre-board slots and furling jib for on-the-go sail changes. Ideal for newcomer’s introduction to sailing.
LIGHT AND FAST
Light, modern, wide and flat planning body design and wave-piercing bow result in a very stable dinghy, manufactured with high-condition vacuum infusion sandwich technology.
STABLE AND SAFE
Modern wide and flat body shape with strong chains and piercing bow results in an extremely stable and locker dinghy which gives the team sufficient hiking momentum. That’s why she can be easily sailed without a trapeze.
TRANSPORTATION 
On land, she is light enough to be transported on the car’s roof, so you will be able to take her everywhere with you. Thanks to flat bench design, she can be easily transported turned upside-down and dividable mast and machinery easily fit into the body, so the car’s backpack remains free for your family’s belongings.
