Cockpit
The 36.7 has a cockpit that converts for cruising or racing. For cruising there are sections of the cockpit seating that you leaving in and then for racing you can remove to allow for additional crew and working room. The two blocks forward of the main traveler and the seat area behind the wheel will remove with a couple of quick knobs.
Interior walk through
This 367 is a 3 cabin single head layout. The port quarter berth is very large with plenty of room for two adults and even some gear. The starboard quarter berth is a standard size quarter berth. Both have doors for privacy. The v-berth is a large berth with plenty of room for two adults.
The main salon is large and open with a nice dining table to seat 4-6. The soft plush leather surfaces are comfortable and easy to clean.
With six opening ports and three opening deck hatches there is always plenty of light and air through out the boat.

Boat of The Year Judges comments
What the BOTY Judges said about the 36.7:
The 36.7 is American made at Beneteau�s recently expanded factory in Marion, South Carolina, but her interior has a distinctly European influence. Proceeding down below, we discovered the companionway ladder to be one of the best we found. It�s not too steep and has wide curved treads that will be safe in a seaway. The interior plan is well laid out with an obvious emphasis on cruising. Racers will be pleased by the attention given to the removable dining table. Once removed, a brace is left in place to provide a hand hold and to also separate sails stowed atop the laminated cabin sole. To port, the galley is large for this length of boat has an appropriately-sized countertop sporting fiddles that are a full 3" deep. These fiddles are substantial and will definitely keep things from spilling off. The nav station to starboard is spacious and the forward head adequately sized. Twin, mirror image, aft staterooms have large double berths, hanging , and privacy doors. This is sure to be attractive for boat partnering where equal staterooms are a plus. One concession we noticed is the forward vee berth. It is minimal for two averaged-sized adults to sleep in but is a perfect spot to put the kids. All of the onboard systems such as the Volvo sail drive, the DC electrical panel and plumbing runs were properly installed, cleanly led and neatly bundled. The nicely crafted woodwork is done in African mahogany which has an evenly applied cherry stain with a high quality varnished finish. The literature we were given states that this "design incorporates a variety of innovative features at an incredible value." Being a custom boatbuilder myself, its honestly hard to fathom how they build this boat for the price its being offered. Beneteau says that with their proprietary construction methods they need to hit a production rate of 70 boats per year to make the numbers work and if they build 100 they ll do just fine. It looks as though they have hit the targeted market on most points and shouldnt have difficulty reaching their goal. With a high boat-to-dollar ratio, the First 36.7 is sure to yield a lot of value for the buyers dollar, along with some silver as well.
