“Where performance meets purpose.”
Meet the newest member of the First SE range: the First 36 SE (Seascape Edition).
Designed for ultimate high-speed sailing experience she is a pure planning racer while being optimized for competitive ORC racing.
The First 36 SE is a game-changer for those who love high-performance sailing.
Whether you’re looking to push the limits in ORC racing or simply experience the pure joy of planing, this boat delivers in every way.
The First 36 SE has been meticulously engineered by a world-class team, including Samuel Manuard and Maurizio Cossutti, to maximize ORC racing potential. Every aspect—from hull shape to cockpit layout, keel design, and displacement—has been refined for speed, balance, and an improved handicap rating.
Constructed with a fully cored, vacuum-infused hull, deck, bulkheads, and interior components, the First 36 SE is exceptionally light and stiff. She is 400 kg (881 pounds) lighter than the standard First 36, thanks to innovative material optimization, ensuring superior speed and handling.

The First 36 SE maintains the same spacious three-cabin layout, salon, and living areas as the First 36 but with race-focused refinements. Every detail has been reimagined for sailors who prioritize planing and competition without sacrificing basic onboard comfort.
Key upgrades include lightweight carbon companionway stairs, carbon fiddles replacing traditional wood, and removable crew bags instead of wooden lockers. Lee cloth nets enhance safety for sleeping under sail, while optimized storage and other smart innovations ensure a perfect balance between performance and functionality.
