The Beneteau First 36.7 delivers the same thrills that made the legendary First 35 and First 36 so beloved, character, style, and unmistakable performance. She’s a true 36‑foot racer equipped for serious sailing yet designed with the easy live‑aboard comfort that turns every passage into pure sensation. Drawing on the celebrated Farr Yacht Design pedigree of the First 40.7, this model blends competitive spirit with refined cruising capability.

Hull & Deck

The hull is single-skinned laminated GRP. A structural inner moulding with unidirectional fabric is bonded and laminated to the hull. Its structural role is important as it takes and absorbs the stresses at pressure points (chain plate tie rods, keel, rudder etc.) and spreads any loads, guaranteeing reduced strain on the hull. The surface to the inner hull makes cleaning easier and provides a better finish.

The deck is balsa sandwich construction (glass fibre, balsa, polyester resin) for an enhanced strength/weight ratio and for good thermal and sound insulation. A roughened non-slip surface increases safety over all areas of movement on deck. An inner deck moulding is sealed to the deck to round off the finish.
