Description

The BENETEAU First 36 SE (Seascape Edition) is the newest evolution of the legendary First performance line—now enhanced with pure Seascape DNA. She embodies a new generation of sailors who thrive on speed, adventure, and the raw connection with wind and water. This latest SE version is a 400-kg lighter, fully cored, vacuum-infused high-performance machine engineered to deliver one thing: uncompromised planing performance. Her hull, deck, structural bulkheads, and interior components have undergone aggressive optimization to achieve a lighter, stiffer, faster platform that redefines what a 36-ft production boat can do. Designed by the elite pairing of Samuel Manuard and Maurizio Cossutti, the First 36 SE merges cutting-edge hydrodynamics with meticulous ORC optimization. The hull shape, keel geometry, weight distribution, and cockpit ergonomics are all tuned to maximize rating efficiency and real-world speed. With nearly 3 m² less wetted surface, a dramatically reduced displacement, and tiller steering for immediate responsiveness, the First 36 SE is arguably the fastest and most exhilarating 36-footer on the market today. Despite its race-bred soul, the First 36 SE remains faithful to the practicality of the First 36 interior: a smart, spacious three-cabin layout, generous salon, and everyday comfort for coastal cruising or delivery passages. The SE version incorporates lightweight upgrades—carbon companionway stairs, carbon fiddles, removable crew bags, lee cloths, and simplified storage systems—that prioritize weight savings while maintaining usability on longer trips. A true dual-purpose weapon, the First 36 SE is equally at home: Planing effortlessly in double- or full-crew racing, Dominating ORC competitions, or Taking adventurers on sporty, minimalist offshore escapes. This is not just another performance cruiser—it is a pure planing raceboat with real, usable interior volume, engineered to thrill on every point of sail.
