2012 Beneteau First 40 Performance Kaimai Express
An exceptional example of the highly regarded Beneteau First 40 Performance, Kaimai Express is a NZ-new, two-owner cruiser/racer presented in outstanding condition with serious performance upgrades. Designed by Bruce Farr, the First 40 is known for its fast, balanced offshore capability while still delivering genuine comfort for cruising. This is a boat that rewards you when you push it, yet remains easy and predictable to sail short-handed.
This particular vessel has had a significant rig upgrade, taking an already capable platform to the next level. A new carbon mast and boom (Oct 2024), paired with new rod rigging, transforms the sailing experiencestiffer, lighter, and more responsive across the wind range.
Below deck, she offers practical cruising comfort with a well-laid-out interior, making her just as suited to weekends away or coastal passages as she is to lining up on the start line.
