ng Expérience The First 36 SE is designed to provide an unparalleled connection to the ancient art of sailing. Every element has been fine-tuned to transform wind into pure sailing joy. To enhance responsiveness, we replaced steering wheels with tillers, added soft, non-skid technical foam in the cockpit, and reduced weight by an additional 400 kg (881 ponuds). The hull has also been refined, decreasing wetted surface area by nearly 3 m2 (32,3 squere foot). The result? Arguably the fastest and most exhilarating 36-ft production boat on the market. Une nouvelle experience Dans cette version, le...
