Onboard footage from the LYS1-category winner of Oulu Ocean Race 2018. The boat is Beneteau First 31.7. Results: venetiedot.fi/... Race web page: ouluoceanrace.com/
It was quite a successful boat type for Beneteau, more than 1300 built. Most of the boats in France, Spain and Italy. I love the tiller, makes it really easy boat to sail shorthanded, also better feedback vs. wheel.
I've never seen one of these boats in Toronto - looks like a great sized racer/cruiser with tiller steering though.
