First 265 Beneteau
6 / 28 - score 55%
The First 265 Beneteau is a 26.0ft fractional sloop designed by Group Finot and built in fiberglass by Beneteau between 1990 and 1997.
520 units have been built.
The First 265 Beneteau is a light sailboat which is a good performer. It is stable / stiff and has a low righting capability if capsized. It is best suited as a day-boat. The fuel capacity is originally very small. There is a very short water supply range.
This boat has an average score but ranks in the top quarter. It seems difficult to do much better. It is one of the best possible tradeoff for this request.
