Specifications

The BENETEAU First 36 was designed to bridge the gap between high-tech development in the world of racing and mainstream racer-cruisers. Even the standard version of  First 36  will fully plane in a moderate breeze. However, this by itself was not the main challenge for the design and production teams.  For 40 years , the Firsts were successfully hitting the elusive sweet spot between comfort, performance, utility, elegance, high-tech construction, and reasonable price. The First 36 is no different.

NAVAL ARCHITECT : Samuel Manuard Design : Lorenzo Argento Structural engineering : Pure Design & Engineering Innovation and research : Sito

DESIGNED FOR SAILORS

The design team was coordinated by the experienced hand of Kristian Hajnšek, CTO of Seascape, who works closely with the team at BENETEAU to bring race-grade construction technologies into the segment of production racer-cruisers. On top of this exceptionally experienced team, we added an elite international group of designers; all of them are passionate sailors in their own right.

THE MODERN SAILING EXPERIENCE

Due to the easily achievable performance potential of the new BENETEAU First 36, we expect her to be a serious weapon for club handicap racing. As such, her design team strove to strike the balance between an easily planing hull and upwind performance.

RACING SPIRIT

The First 36 is optimized for short-handed sailing, making her perfect for ever-popular short-handed adventure distance races. Her high sail area, great displacement ratio and balanced nautical design make her a top performer as a club-racer, a safe and fun family cruiser, or a simply thrilling daysailer.

SAILING FUNCTIONALITY

The positioning of the six winches, steering wheels, and other deck gear was thoroughly tested on several mock-ups and a full-scale testbed sailboat to ensure the remarkable sailing experience promised. Details like an offshore hatch on the foredeck or removable cockpit benches show the priority paid to sailing functionality over style used throughout the design process.

RACING LAYOUT

In the racing layout, the wide and modern cockpit allows for different helm and trim positions, either for short-handed or fully-crewed sailing. In this setup, the table and bench extensions are removed, opening the working area in the cockpit.

A higher than average steering wheel position leaves enough room for the helmsman to move forward towards the mainsail winch when sailing shorthanded. In full crew mode, the cockpit winches' positioning allows one or two crew members to sail with legs in and work the mainsail or primary winches. It also allows cross-sheeting of all sheets to the windward side. Harken, Ronstan, Spinlock and Antal deck gear were combined for optimal performance.

CRUISING LAYOUT

When you remove your racing gear and take your family cruising or daysailing, cockpit benches with cushions increase the seating area, adding storage space and line organization. The cockpit table is big enough to accommodate a crew of six. Additionally, the design team developed an ultralight swim platform to give sailors easy access to the water without affecting the boat's performance.

LARGEST LIVING SPACE IN ITS CLASS

Going against the trend, the 36 features a full-sized navigation table. While vital to navigation, it is also a suitable home office. Two portlights in every cabin allow air flow and natural light, while sectional indirect lighting, with a red racing option, illuminates the boat at night. Three cabins with easily accessible full-sized double berths and innovative heads round up the features of this bright and spacious interior.

The wide hull of the BENETEAU First 36 offers a spacious interior comparable to her much larger predecessors. The new First 36 has about the same living volume as the legendary First 40.7.

Simple, comfortable and versatile, the First 36 interior was developed around three-cabin cruising functionality. Its most notable feature is the large central fridge with a removable cutting board, making this sailboat's galley the largest of her class. A corridor created by the foldable and removable table helps sailors move around the saloon safely.

After 11 days at sea, the SV Lenny and her crew placed second in their class. The crew gave their feedback on the boat pre and post race.

2023 Transpac - Meet the Crew of SV Lenny

In June 2023, a few days before SV Lenny started the 2023 Transpac, we spoke to the crew about the race, the boat and their connection to the legendary BENETEAU First boats. 

New First 44 “Lenny” will race in the 2023 Transpac

Two legendary races, one Ocean, a new boat from a long successful line of great boats, and a remarkable crew who have sailed on major boat races around the world … BENETEAU’s First 44 is starting a Pacific adventure like no other before.

36' Beneteau 1996

This vessel is no longer on the market, manufacturer provided description.

The First 36s7 is the complete racer - cruiser. Without compromising comfort, she has been designed to give performance, whether fitted with the standard (9-10) rig or the race (7-8) rig. Fitted with the hiigh-performance lead keel, this First 36s7 will fully adapt to different requirements and will never disappoint. The First 36s7 combines complete mastery of modern techniques and technology to give the greatest of pleasure, and most importantly, complete safety, whether this is in terms of her structure (inner hull moulding, tie rods, installation of parts), or more generally, in the application of real innovations (dual volume deck, removable lifelines on stern pushpit, flush stanchion bases). With two steps in the transom, climbing on board is easy. From the cockpit to the stemhead, the First 36s7 presents an elegant, uncluttered and logical deck plan. The cockpit is well-protected by the rounded coaming with seating on teak inlaid contoured bench seats. A slightly wider T-shaped section is incorporated aft to make plenty of room for the standard wheel steering. Forward of the mast, the "dual volume deck" increases the amount of room for the foredeck crew, and allows the shroud chainplates to be positioned inwards for better performance on the wind.

The forward cabin is well ventilated by a large opening hatch, and both it and the aft cabin have double berths and plenty of storage. To starboard just aft of the Nav area is the Head with Shower.
