What this video covers

The Beneteau First 60, the largest First-series model ever built, was unveiled at boot Düsseldorf.▶ 0:14 The 60-footer is priced at 2 million euros including VAT — roughly 25 million Norwegian kroner — which the presenter describes as competitive for a fast 60-footer in the current market.▶ 3:45 The cockpit features a walk-around layout that lets crew move forward to the deck without crossing the helmsman's path; the winches sit at that same turning point and are accessible from three sides when a cockpit bench extension is removed for racing.▶ 0:39 The helmsman's seat tilts to compensate for heel.▶ 0:51 Below deck, the galley moves forward to the main bulkhead, and a unique forward cabin is oriented fore-and-aft with a walk-around berth and a large head directly aft of it.▶ 0:51 The boat carries three cabins and three heads, a split saloon, a chart table, and large refrigerators.▶ 1:39 On deck, a long bowsprit, an in-deck furler, a large sail locker aft of the anchor well, a dedicated sheet winch, and a captive winch on the mainsail sheet — running on a large drum — keep lines clear.▶ 2:25 The forward cockpit section converts to a sunbed without removing tables.▶ 2:08
