Fantastic opportunity to acquire a top spec First 36 without the waiting list. 2026 Beneteau First 36.
The First 36 is built around the principle of high-performance sailing – allowing it to excel in fully-crewed club racing, but also appealing to the active cruiser who enjoys family sailing and holidays.
With quality deck fittings and hardware the placement compliments the meticulously designed deck and interior ergonomics. The First 36 is the first mainstream racer/cruiser where onboard comfort doesn’t affect the experience of high performance sailing.
As well as being fast, the First 36 is also refined, comfortable and multi-purpose. The spacious interior highlights the traditions of First predecessors offering 3 double cabins separated by a well appointed saloon with galley, nav station and large seated dining area.

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 the helmsman space 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.
