Beneteau First 36

General

• Remarks: Whether racing or cruising, the First 36 offers comfort, performance, utility, elegance, build quality and competitive pricing.
  The new First 36, designed by Sam Manuard is perfectly optimised for safe short-handed sailing at speed, Its high performance is thanks to its very high sail area/displacement coefficient and its balanced, yet powerful hull design.
  
  A standard aluminium mast, a cast iron keel and a 2.25m draught have been chosen to offer the best compromise between performance and ease of use.
  As well as being fast, the First 36 is also simple, comfortable and multi-purpose. Its spacious interior is comparable to its predecessors and offers 3 double cabins.
  
  Many optional items are available in addition to the standard specification, so the F36 can be configured easily to suit your requirements.

  RACING LAYOUT
  In this configuration, the wide and modern cockpit offers the possibility to sail efficiently either for short-handed or fully-crewed sailing.
  A higher than average steering wheel position leaves to the helmsman to move forward to the mainsail winch when sailing shorthanded.
  The mainsail trimmers work efficiently thanks to the position of the winches.
  
  CRUISING LAYOUT
  In cruising mode, the additional lockers and their cushions offer increased seating capacity and comfort.
  In the cockpit, 6 guests can sit around the table.
  The ultra-light bathing platform extends the living space without compromising the boat's performance.
