The Beneteau First 265 is a French sailboat, that was designed by Group Finot and first built in 1990.[1][2]
The Beneteau First 265 design was developed into the Beneteau Oceanis 281 in 1995.[1]
Production
The design was built by Beneteau in France and in the United States. The company built 520 examples between 1990 and 1997, but it is now out of production.[1][3]
Design
The First 265 is a small recreational keelboat, built predominantly of fiberglass. It has a fractional sloop rig, a slightly raked stem, a reverse transom, an internally-mounted spade-type rudder controlled by a tiller and a fixed fin keel. It displaces 4,800 lb (2,177 kg) and carries 1,430 lb (649 kg) of ballast.[1]
The boat has a draft of 4.92 ft (1.50 m) with the standard keel and 3.77 ft (1.15 m) with the optional shoal draft keel.[1]
The boat is fitted with an inboard motor. The fuel tank holds 7 U.S. gallons (26 L; 5.8 imp gal) and the fresh water tank has a capacity of 10 U.S. gallons (38 L; 8.3 imp gal).[1]
The design has a hull speed of 6.59 kn (12.20 km/h).[4]
