OWNER’S COMMENTS

Geisha is a great boat to sail and to live. She is fast with all wind conditions , easy to steer and well balanced. It is common to sail at 7-9 knots with light conditions. As it gets to 6-8 knots of real winds she is quickly taking good speed. The inside is very bright and clear, well structured and facilitating onboard living

YACHTING PRESS REMARKS:

There’s a whole lot more here than headroom and easily handled sailsThe hull form is sleek and sophisticated, the eyebrows above the ports denote competence and self-worth, and some of the accessories belowdeck are fine leather. The Beneteau First 50 starts with style, but it carries through with performance.

An owner looking for a fast cruiser, an occasional racer, and/or a seasonal bluewater boat will be attracted to this yacht. It’s a perfect platform for a family who wants to cruise along the coast and explore New England or the Mid-Atlantic, and it’s perfectly capable of charging around a racecourse where, competently crewed, it can stay in step with the division leaders.
