First 36se

Defined by a sleek, planing hull designed by Sam Manuard and a modern interior by Lorenzo Argento, the 2026 Beneteau First 36se represents the pinnacle of the modern racer-cruiser category. This new boat is available to be ordered directly from the shipyard, allowing the owner to configure every detail to match specific performance ambitions. With an overall length of 11.98 meters and a beam of 3.8 meters, this vessel balances high-speed capability with the practical requirements of an active sailing lifestyle. Built for those who demand precision, the platform features a displacement of 4350 kg and a draft of 2.25 meters. The core of this yacht is its ORC-optimized construction, which utilizes vacuum infusion to maximize structural rigidity while maintaining a competitive weight profile. Power is provided by a reliable 29 HP Yanmar 3YM30AE engine with a sail drive, ensuring efficient maneuverability when the sails are stowed. The 70-liter fuel capacity provides sufficient range for coastal navigation and weekend getaways. Accommodations are surprisingly spacious for a high-performance vessel, featuring three cabins and one head. This layout ensures comfort for a crew of up to 10 people during events or extended outings. The deck arrangement is specifically engineered for efficient shorthand sailing, featuring high-quality hardware and a layout that keeps the cockpit clear and functional for tactical racing. This boat suits sailors looking for a versatile vessel that performs at the top level of ORC circuits without compromising on the interior habitability expected of a modern cruiser. Whether participating in competitive regattas or enjoying fast-paced coastal sailing, the design offers a responsive and exhilarating experience on the water. This Beneteau First 36se is currently available to order from our office in Desenzano del Garda. As a new vessel, the starting price is 248.450 EUR (VAT excluded).
