The Most Overlooked Sailboat on the Market | Beneteau First 36 7

Is the Beneteau First 36.7 the hidden gem of the used sailboat market? With examples listed across North America for roughly $70,000, this Farr-designed performance cruiser offers something increasingly difficult to find: genuine speed, excellent upwind ability, three private cabins, a practical cruising interior and enough comfort for family sailing. In this Lady K Sailing review, we look at why the First 36.7 remains so affordable, how its PHRF performance compares with ordinary cruising boats, and why it may be one of the best used sailboat buys of 2026. We also examine the compromises that come with owning a Beneteau First 36.7, including its small head, racing-oriented cockpit, limited storage, saildrive maintenance and the choice between the 7-foot deep keel and the more cruising-friendly 6-foot shoal-draft version. Whether you want to club race, cruise with your family or simply own a sailboat that is genuinely fun to sail, the First 36.7 deserves a closer look. Would you choose the deep keel for maximum performance, or the shoal keel for greater cruising freedom? Lady K Swag!!! Right here: www.lady-k-sailing-shop.fourthwall.com Need a consult?
