Inside the Classes: Beneteau 36.7

Everyone knows of the Kraken, the legendary long-armed giant squid storied to have tormented ancient mariners off the coasts of Northern Europe and Greenland with its tentacles grabbing hold of unsuspecting seaman and ship. And much like its namesake, the Beneteau 36.7 raced by Thomas Shepherd and his crew, this fiberglass Kraken has a mental grip on the team as they make their climb to the top of the Southern California Beneteau 36.7 class.
