Don't miss out on FIRST EXPERIENCE on Friday, December 15 and Saturday, December 16 at the CYCA Rushcutters Bay from 10 AM to 4 PM each day. You'll have the opportunity to participate in sea trials of the three models on display.

On display: First 44 - Lenny

On display will be Lenny, the fully optimised First 44 that has recently completed the Transpac West Coast of America to Hawaii then cruised the Pacific to Sydney to participate in the Beneteau Cup before competing in this year's Sydney Hobart.

Flagstaff Marine has pre-ordered a performance cruising version of the all-new FIRST 44. With a main, jib and spinnaker from North Sails, she will be a great performer in club racing both inshore and offshore, but also offer a high level of comfort and options to enjoy cruising.
