The all-around speed, seaworthiness, and stability of First 36 has trickled down from modern offshore racers. Our naval architect, Sam Manuard, works at the front end of this development. The design was given to PURE Design & Engineering, a team famous for making structural calculations for America’s Cup boats, IMOCAs and TP-52s—in other words, the fastest and most abused racing boats in the world.

The living quarters below deck are a reinvented layout of the legendary First 40,7. Their huge volume comes as a natural consequence of the modern, performance-optimized lines of the hull. Even though most of the interior is structural elements in vacuum-infused GRP, warm wood has been used for floorboards, doors, table and trim. A smooth inner liner and ambient light settings create an atmosphere where you will feel at home and relaxed before and after sailing.
