Bénéteau First 36 SE for sale

First 36 SE: an offshore racing sailboat designed for performance. With the First 36 SE, we return to the essentials of offshore racing: harnessing the full power of the wind to deliver faster, more precise and more intense sailing. Every detail of this 36-foot sailboat has been optimised to maximise performance and amplify the sensations at the tiller.
A lighter, more manoeuvrable sailboat. To enhance the manoeuvrability of the First 36 SE, the wheels have been replaced by a tiller, offering more direct control and a better connection with the boat. The cockpit also features a non-slip foam deck covering, designed to secure movement on board and improve comfort during sporty sailing.
This SE version also gains 400 kg of additional lightness, a major asset for accelerating performance under sail and enhancing the sailing experience.
A hull optimised to reduce drag. The hull of the First 36 SE has also been refined to reduce the wetted surface by nearly 3 m². This optimisation limits friction in the water and allows the sailboat to harness the power of the wind even more efficiently.
The result: a 36-foot production sailboat designed to prioritise speed, sensations and the pleasure of sailing. The First 36 SE thus stands out as a benchmark for sailors looking for an offshore racing boat that is at once light, high-performing and exhilarating.
Light, responsive and performance-oriented, the First 36 SE is built for those who want to fully feel the power of the wind and push the limits under sail.
