The Beneteau First 36.7, designed by Farr Yacht Design, is a 10.9-meter fractional sloop performance cruiser built from 2000 to 2021. Approximately 800 units were produced, establishing it as a recognized one-design class in North America. The boat features a spade rudder and a deep lead keel, with a standard draft of 2.2 meters or an optional shoal draft of 1.8 meters. Aboard *Lady K Sailing*, the model trades for about $70,000 on the used market. Its interior includes three cabins, a galley, a forward-facing nav desk, and 269 liters of water capacity. The cockpit's mainsheet traveler can obstruct movement, but the boat balances racing speed with cruising utility. Chris Lamb, who races and cruises a Beneteau First 36.7, prioritizes guest comfort and participation, encouraging guests to steer and trim sails. He credits his racing experience with improving his overall boat handling and confidence as a cruiser, particularly during long-distance events like the Chicago to Mackinac race. Prospective buyers should survey the internal structural grid, keel-to-hull bond, and chainplate connections, as many units have seen extensive racing use.
