Beneteau First 36.7 Yacht
An all-round champion! Before she had even left Farr's drawing board, everyone knew she would be a true winner. With her big brothers, the 40.7 and 47.7 winning every major European regatta, the concept that Farr and Bénéteau had hit upon was bound to be a clear winner. In her first year, the 36.7 became world IMS champion and has since repeated this feat, and at a more local level won Red Funnel, RORC, and Hamble Winter and Spring Series, as well as dominating her class at Cork Week.

HULL
The hull is single-skinned laminated GRP.
A structural inner moulding with unidirectional fabric
is bonded and laminated to the hull. Its structural
28 July 2006 (Non-contractual document) Code Bénéteau 068340 ANG
role is important as it takes and absorbs the stresses at
pressure points (chain plate tie rods, keel, rudder etc.)
spreading these and thereby guaranteeing reduced
strain on the hull.The surface to the inner hull makes
cleaning easier and provides a better finish.
The hull gel coat is grey.
DECK -
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.
HULL / DECK JOINT -
The hull / deck joint is secured by an unvarnished teak
toerail, bonded and screwed. This assembly technique
ensures water-tightness of the hull / deck joint and
provides safety during movement on deck.
Why The New Bénéteau First 36.7 is a "Can't Miss"
(RCR Yachts Date 2002 )
Sailing World magazine just named the First 36.7 winner of the Best Value award in their 2002 Boat of the Year contest. Here is just some of what they said: "If you are shopping for a racer cruiser in the mid thirty foot range and you want a lot of bang for your buck, then the 36.7 is hands down your best bet. Following on the heels of their success with her big sister the 40.7, Bénéteau continued the pedigree by selecting Farr Yacht Design to draw the lines for the new 36.7. The Farr office is widely acknowledged as one of the top racing yacht design firms in the world. And it really shows. Under way the First 36.7 springs to life. Upwind the helm feels balanced and the boat has an overall powerful, smooth feel. Beneteau has wrapped a bundle of high quality gear, several unique features and many creature comforts into a neat package. It's obvious that this boat carefully addresses the needs of buyers who want to be able to race competitively yet still cruise in comfort.
The interior is well laid out with an obvious emphasis on cruising. All the onboard systems were properly installed, cleanly led, and neatly bundled. The nicely crafted woodwork is done in African mahogany which has an evenly applied cherry stain with a high quality varnished finish. Being a custom boatbuilder myself, it's honestly hard to fathom how they build this boat for the price it's being offered.
