Over time, your movements become instinctive. The boat is no longer something to be tamed, but rather an extension of your own senses. According to Beneteau, the essence of sailing isn\u2019t about having more, but about feeling more.   <\/p>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/boats.marine.ee\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/FIRST-36-SPIRIT_RENDERINGS-6-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-16444\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/boats.marine.ee\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/FIRST-36-SPIRIT_RENDERINGS-6-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/boats.marine.ee\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/FIRST-36-SPIRIT_RENDERINGS-6-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/boats.marine.ee\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/FIRST-36-SPIRIT_RENDERINGS-6-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/boats.marine.ee\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/FIRST-36-SPIRIT_RENDERINGS-6-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/boats.marine.ee\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/FIRST-36-SPIRIT_RENDERINGS-6-2048x1365.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>The name returns.<\/strong>  1992. In [year], Beneteau gave this feeling a name: Spirit. The first boat to bear this name, the First Spirit 300, was designed for sailors who knew exactly what a boat needed\u2014and what it didn\u2019t. The name disappeared, the sailors remained, and the technology evolved. Now the name returns in the form of the First 36 Spirit, whose motto is \u201cSimply Sailing.\u201d   <\/p>\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-left wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Sailing Characteristics.<\/strong> The First 36 Spirit is based on the proven, <a href=\"https:\/\/boats.marine.ee\/en\/boats\/first-36\/\">stable , and safe platform of the First 36 <\/a>. In light winds, the boat responds to even the slightest shift in the wind. As the wind picks up, the ultra-light vacuum-infused hull begins to plane in moderate winds: the boat no longer pushes the water ahead of it, but glides over it. The boat\u2019s displacement is just 4,620 kg.   <\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Wheels and deck.<\/strong>  Special attention has been paid to the two rudder blades, which feature a CNC-milled Corecel core. They are durable and lightweight, providing the sailor with safety, control, and a direct connection to the boat. All controls are designed for a small crew. As a result, the deck layout is ergonomic, and some deck equipment is larger than usual. The boat is a pleasure to sail even at two-person speeds, whether it\u2019s an evening sail after work or a longer trip with family, friends, or on your own.    <\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The First 36 Spirit isn&#8217;t there just for you. It sails alongside you. <\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Interior.<\/strong> Under deck you will find that unique combination of comfort and simplicity that is the signature of a modern planingcruiser. All elements are thought through, designed, engineered and distilled, until only what matters remains. The three-cabin layout, spacious salon and single head provide everything needed for a comfortable life on board\u2026 but not more. Durable worktops, easily removable magnetic doors, innovative open lockers in every cabin with a hanging rail and retaining net. Even the compact head earns its place with a clever foldable sink that returns more space than you would expect.<br\/>Cozy. Honest. Light. The kind of interior a sailor steps into and immediately understands.     <\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>The Team.<\/strong> The boat was created by lifelong sailors and renowned designers:<\/p>\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Naval architect: Samuel MANUARD<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Exterior Designer: Lorenzo ARGENTO<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Structural Engineering: PURE DESIGN &amp; ENGINEERING<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The Seascape team, which was responsible for the concept and development in collaboration with Beneteau.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The boat was not designed based on its exterior appearance. It was created based on moments experienced at the helm, on the cabin stairs, and at sea. <\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The durability of <a href=\"https:\/\/boats.marine.ee\/boat-model\/first\/\">the First series<\/a> is also confirmed by  <a href=\"https:\/\/boats.marine.ee\/en\/news\/first-30-named-european-performance-cruiser-of-2026\/\">The First 30, which was awarded the title of European Performance Cruiser of 2026 <\/a>.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>What the creators say<\/strong><\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Thibaut de Montvalon, Director Beneteau Sailing, CSO Sailing Division, Groupe Beneteau: \u00bbIt is a real pride to have the iconic First Spirit back within BENETEAU\u2019s range, with this new First 36 Spirit! At BENETEAU we are a community of passionate sailors. And our passion is fuelled by our ability to design and market sailing boats that will share<br\/>our love for sailing with others. This is what First Spirit means: joy, simplicity, no artefacts. In a world and age that often feels complex, First Spirit offers simple and authentic sailing to share our passion and expand our community.\u00ab    <\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Andra\u017e Mihelin, CEO Seascape, First Range Manager: \u00bbWorking on the First 36 Spirit was particularly special for me because it connects so closely with something I personally believe in: that joy often hides in simplicity. She was born from the understanding that the balance between too much, too little, and just enough is different for every sailor. So we took the standard First 36 through another round of \u201csimplify, then add lightness\u201d and kept asking ourselves what could be removed, refined, or made more intuitive. The result is a boat I find genuinely beautiful in its simplicity, and one that I hope will bring what we call the joy of planing to an even wider circle of sailors.\u00ab     <\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATIONS<\/strong><\/p>\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Total length:<\/strong> 11.98 m<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Hull length:<\/strong> 11.00 m<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Beam<\/strong>: 3.80 m<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Displacement (empty, MLC):<\/strong> 4,620 kg<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Standard keel:<\/strong> draft 2.25 m, keel weight 1,550 kg<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Shallow keel:<\/strong> draft 1.95 m, hull weight 1,710 kg<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Engine:<\/strong> 29 hj, sail drive<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Fuel tank:<\/strong> 70 l<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Fresh water tank:<\/strong> 160 l<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Air draft (excluding antennae): <\/strong>17.80 m<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Sail area upwind:<\/strong> 80 m\u00b2<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Sail area downwind:<\/strong> 183 m\u00b2<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Mainsail (max):<\/strong> 42 m\u00b2<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Jib (max):<\/strong> 38 m\u00b2<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Masthead gennaker (max):<\/strong> 141 m\u00b2<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Furling fractional gennaker:<\/strong> 72.5 m\u00b2<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>CE category:<\/strong> A6\/B8\/C10<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Starting price: \u20ac200,000 (excluding VAT)<\/strong><br\/><strong>World premiere:<\/strong> Boot D\u00fcsseldorf, January 2027<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you&#8217;re interested, please contact us at <a href=\"mailto:marine@marine.ee\">marine@marine.ee<\/a> or +372 651 9666.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Beneteau toob Spiriti nime tagasi.
