( R e d i r e c t e d f r o m F i r s t C l a s s 8 ) Beneteau First Class 8
It is one of Europe 's most competitive sailing classes, with more than 1,000 units sold between 1982 and 1994.
Strongest fleets are located in France , Belgium , Spain , Italy , Germany , Norway and Portugal .
It is a long boat compared with its competitors such as the J/24 from America. It has straight lines for a boat of that age and has no reference to IOR hull shapes with huge beam, flared bows, and pinched sterns. The boat's lines lend themselves to a dinghy style planing hull, as opposed to digging a hole in the ocean which was a characteristic of the mid period IOR boats. The FC8 has a lot of wetted surface area which makes it slow in light air.
