“Holy Grounder” - Beneteau 36.7

 "Holy Grounder" is a Beneteau First 36.7. Beneteau are the largest and most reputable boat builders in the world and the "First" range is the premium "cruiser racing" range. "Holy Grounder " was built in the Beneteau yard in St. Gilles Croix de Vie on the shores of the Bay of Biscay in 2002. She sailed in Dublin for 4 years.  She was purchased by SailCork in May 2008 and her main sailing grounds have been the wonderful coast of Cork. Her name comes from the nickname  Cobh is the "Holy Ground" - hence from Cobh being a "Holy Grounder" The "Holy Ground" has been made world famous by the sea shanty the "Holy Ground" 

Holy Grounder has sailed on the East, South and West coasts of Ireland as well as the UK including the Isles of Scilly.  She is full ready for the winter as she now has a central heating system installed!

The First 36.7 comes from the Farr design stable and has character, style, performance and all the equipment of a true 36’ racer, plus easy live-aboard comfort. She has a comfortable well designed interior, effective deck plan, large ergonomic cockpit, mainsheet-trim position tucked behind the helm and a deep lead keel. The First 36.7 carries all the hallmarks of a great cruiser-racer.

 

 

 

The First 36.7 will win the whole family over with her materials, spacious layout and finishing touches, all out-of-the-ordinary for this size and type of yacht. Her large forecabin, separate heads and two aft cabins, mean that up to 8 crew can race at top level one day and go cruising in first class comfort the next. The First 36.7 goes further : live at sea intensely, for long and whatever the weather conditions, cook or sleep comfortably on a wild reach or upwind...
Everything becomes possible on this 36’, a privilege and a great pleasure!
