Why the First 36?
Performance, plain and simple!
The First 36 moves fast and effortlessly. masterfully playing on pleasure and sensations, it will undoubtedly encourage its owners to sail more and longer.
The design team
The designers of the First 36 (architects, engineers, designers) are not only experts in their fields but also passionate sailors. They combined their skills to create a next-generation sailboat.
The interior
The modern hull design achieves a large interior volume, matching the size and comfort of the legendary First 40.7.
Advanced industrialized technology
The entire boat is vacuum-infused with a foam sandwich structure, including bulkheads and most fittings. A technology until now reserved for racing boats or small series. The result is a very stiff boat weighing only 4,800 kg.
A MODULAR COCKPIT
The cockpit has two distinct modes: one for racing and sailing with a reduced crew, and another for cruising.
In race mode, the T-shaped cockpit allows the entire crew to trim and handle efficiently.
In cruise mode, the seats are extended with removable lockers that accommodate passengers around a cockpit table, creating a lounge-like atmosphere!
A new experience
No need to be a champion to experience double-digit speeds... The balance between the sail plan, hull, and steering system makes the First 36 capable of going very fast without worrying its crew or putting them in danger. It steers effortlessly, both upwind and on a broad reach at planing speed.
For 45 years, a First has excelled in crewed or shorthanded racing or family cruising. Special attention has been paid to the cockpit ergonomics, notably with a higher tiller to allow the helmsman access to the mainsheet winch.
