The First 36, why?
Performance, simply!
The First 36 moves fast, and effortlessly. By artfully playing with pleasure and sensations, it will undoubtedly encourage its owners to sail more, and longer.
The design team
The designers of the First 36 (architects, calculators, designers) are not only references in their fields but also passionate sailors. They have combined their skills to create a next-generation sailing yacht.
The interior
The modern hull design allows for a large interior volume, in size and comfort akin to the legendary First 40.7.
An industrialized high-tech solution
The entire boat is vacuum-infused with a foam sandwich structure, including the bulkheads and the majority of the fittings. A technology previously reserved for racing boats or small series. The result is a very stiff boat, weighing only 4,800 kg.
A MODULABLE COCKPIT
The cockpit features two distinct modes: one for racing and sailing with a reduced crew, and the other for cruising.
In racing mode, the T-shaped cockpit allows the entire crew to trim and maneuver efficiently.
In cruising mode, the seating is extended with removable lockers that accommodate passengers around a cockpit table, ensuring a lounge atmosphere!
A new experience
However, there is no need to be a champion to experience double-digit speeds... The balance between the sail plan, the hull shape, and the steering system is such that the First 36 can go very fast without worrying its crew or putting them in danger. It can be steered with the fingertips, whether close-hauled or on a broad reach while planing.
For 45 years, a First must excel in crewed or short-handed races or during family cruises. Special attention has been given to the cockpit ergonomics, particularly with a higher helm to allow the helmsman to access the mainsail winch.
