Why this boat
When racing isn't a side project, but identity.
The SE doesn't hide its racing order. No blurring of priorities. Lighter, more sails, ORC-weighted. The SE is the more radical promise.
400 kg lighter
In regatta sailing, weight counts. The First 36 SE gives you this advantage — in acceleration, at the mark, in response.
80 m² sail area
Larger sails, more potential. The SE uses every wind strength more aggressively and needs less speed to get planing.
ORC-optimized
Not generally sporty — born for the racing course. The SE is the pure racing concept of the family.
