2024 Beneteau First 36 - new boats available for delivery in 2024
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 holidays or day-sailing trips.
With carefully placed high-tech equipment and 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..
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. 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.
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.
