Experience the evolution of the performance cruiser with the new Beneteau First 36se. Designed by the visionary Sam Manuard with interiors styled by Lorenzo Argento, this 11.98-meter planning hull is engineered for those who demand uncompromising speed without sacrificing the comfort required for extended stays on board. Available to order, this vessel provides a blank canvas for owners to tailor every technical specification to their specific sailing ambitions.
Built using advanced vacuum infusion techniques, the boat achieves a lightweight 4,800 kg displacement, ensuring an ideal ballast-to-displacement ratio for competitive ORC racing. The layout prioritizes efficiency, featuring a high-load Harken Performa winch setup and a Jefa direct steering system that provides unmatched tactile feedback at the helm. Whether sailing shorthanded or with a full crew, the deck hardware is positioned to handle high-performance loads with precision.
This platform represents a versatile choice for sailors who split their time between the racecourse and the cruising grounds. With 3 cabins and 1 bath, it comfortably accommodates up to 10 people, providing a functional living space after a day of intense sailing. The design focus remains firmly on performance, with a standard draft of 2.25 meters and a sail plan capability of 80 sqm upwind and 180 sqm off the wind, ensuring the boat remains competitive in a wide range of conditions.
As a factory-fresh model, the Beneteau First 36se allows for a fully customized electronics suite, including options for B&G H5000 or Garmin systems. The price of 248,450 EUR is a base starting point (ex-VAT, ex-works), giving owners the flexibility to select their own sail inventory and finishings to meet specific rating requirements.
