The Beneteau First 36 represents a paradigm shift for the French builder, acting as the spiritual and technical successor to the legendary First 36.7 while embracing a modern, high-performance philosophy. Launched in 2022, this model was developed in close collaboration with the Seascape team in Slovenia, signaling a move toward the "performance-first" ethos that defined the brand’s early racing success. Unlike traditional cruiser-racers that prioritize interior volume, the First 36 is built with a vacuum-infused hull and structural reinforcements that allow it to plane in moderate breezes—a feat typically reserved for dedicated racing machines. Designed by Sam Manuard, a naval architect renowned for his dominance in the Class40 and IMOCA 60 circuits, the boat bridges the gap between a family weekend cruiser and a podium-capable offshore racer.
