Beneteau First 40.7 
PERFORMANCE BASED CRUISING ABILITY There are features on the Beneteau 40.7 that work well while others are far from perfect. This is a package that offers compromise sailing by the bucket load. Certainly not an out-and-out racer, the 40.7 has some aspects of cruising ability that have been biased more toward performance than one might expect from a boat of this type.
EFFECTIVE USE OF SPACE From an ergonomic point of view the helmsman's space is very effective. Though the contoured seat aft saw little use upwind it would undoubtedly provide a comfortable center of operations in light winds, and downwind in windier weather. Upwind with some heel on, though, the place to sit is undoubtedly on the side deck with one or more feet firmly braced against the wide sloping flanks of the molded-in steering pedestal. The wheel is big enough to allow for a relaxed stance while allowing a good clear view of the genoa.
