The world premier at Boot Düsseldorf boat show in January this year revealed the modern Frers hull shape of the HR370. Owners that want solar power can opt for the whole coachroof to be decked with bespoke fitted Solara panels. It’s a development of a concept introduced by Berckemeyer Yacht Design 10 years ago, which also sets this design apart from the crowd. Its high price includes a high spec, such as the hydraulic lift keel, bow thruster, diesel heating and nav equipment. From what we have gleaned, however, the First 60 will be built with a performance cruising focus (as opposed to handicap racing ambitions).
