2025 Beneteau First 36 SE

The Beneteau First SE range builds on the legendary racing heritage of the FIRST, infused with Seascape DNA. It thrives through a passionate community of sailors who seek adventure, embrace nature, and push beyond their limits.  Meet the First 36 SE (Seascape Edition).

Designed for ultimate high-speed sailing experience she is a pure planning racer while being optimized for competitive ORC racing. The First 36 SE is a game-changer for those who love high-performance sailing. Whether you’re looking to push the limits in ORC racing or simply experience the pure joy of planing, this boat delivers in every way.

The First 36 SE is designed to provide an unparalleled connection to the ancient art of sailing. Every element has been fine-tuned to transform wind into pure sailing joy.

To enhance responsiveness, we replaced steering wheels with a tiller, added soft, non-skid technical foam in the cockpit, and reduced weight by an additional 400 kg (881 pounds). The hull has also been refined, decreasing wetted surface area by nearly 3 m² (32,3 square foot). The result? Arguably the fastest and most exhilarating 36-ft production boat on the market.
