What this video covers

The Beneteau First 36 achieves speeds of 7.2 knots upwind in 15 knots of wind and reaches 9.5 knots on a reach using a Code Zero.0:49 The vessel features vacuum-infused construction, which keeps the weight below the standard consumption weight while maintaining a high-quality finish.1:38 The interior layout includes three cabins and a dedicated chart table, though the trade-off for this configuration is a compact head.1:48 The aft cabins offer flexible sleeping arrangements, including split berths and access to technical spaces.2:38 A central island in the galley houses the refrigerator, providing accessible storage.2:47 While the base price starts at 3 million NOK, a race-ready configuration costs nearly 4 million NOK, placing it in the same market segment as the Dehler 38.3:38 The boat’s performance in regattas remains unproven, and its rating will depend heavily on how the handicap system accounts for its planing capabilities.3:23 The vessel balances sporty performance with cruising amenities like a cockpit table and anchor windlass.3:14
