The multi award winning First 36 from Beneteau has redefined what a cruiser/racer now represents. The naval architects have focused on saving weight, delivering true performance and all packaged with a comfortable interior.
You can now experience the thrill of high-performance sailing – not only on the race course, but also on family holidays or day-sailing trips.
We have made this possible through a carefully placed high-tech and meticulously designed deck and interior ergonomics, which is bringing the most important features of grand prix racing boats into the hands of a club racer or active cruiser.
First 36 is the first mainstream racer/cruiser where onboard comfort doesn’t affect the experience of high performance sailing.
