The Beneteau 40.7 VAYU has won the 2015 NOOD, one of the most pretigious races in the US.
The term cruiser/racer usually means the boat has traded speed for comfort. In the racing configuration, the F40.7 may be more powerful than some cruisers want but ALEXANDRA is tamed and suitable for both. With over 700 boats built for the worldwide market, this Bruce Farr design is comfortable on the ocean or in the Bay.
"I think pretty highly of the Beneteau First 40.7 - provided that you're interested in a fast racer/cruiser, or want to break into Grand Prix racing in IMS for what is comparatively a shoestring budget. The 40.7 rates very well under IMS with its racer/cruiser time credits. And it's a fast boat, plain and simple. Bruce Farr and his team at Farr Yacht Design drew the lines, they are the world's pre-eminent race boat designers, bar none." Editor...Boats.com
