Who is she for?
For hands-on crews who enjoy sail trim and helming on coastal cruises and longer passages. If club racing is part of the plan, Niko can discuss the sail wardrobe with you. Keel and deck equipment need to suit both your waters and your crew.
Niko arranges sea trials in Barcelona or Portorož. He will confirm whether this particular model is available there.
Construction & equipment
Hull & keel
Vacuum-infused sandwich components in the hull, deck and internal structure keep weight low. The keel has a draught of 2.25 m. Sam Manuard is responsible for the hull design.
Sailing & deck
The mainsheet winch is directly accessible from the raised helm position. Removable seat extensions turn the cockpit from a social space into a clear working area for spirited sailing.
Interior
A folding washbasin in the heads, a separate fridge island and an extendable work surface in the L-shaped galley create usable space. A navigation table also serves as a workspace.
For your sailing
The First 36 combines a lightweight hull with a complete cruising interior. We tailor the sail wardrobe and deck equipment to a small crew or racing programme.
