The Beneteau First 265 is a fast and comfortable racer/cruiser known for its varnished
cherry interior and superior ventilation. Buck Aye comes with many upgrades and a
comprehensive equipment list. She has proven herself on extended cruises and
performed well around the buoy racing. The custom trailer built in 2009 adds to her
versatility by permitting road travel and transportation for winter storage.

The First 265 has been sold, so I am Beneteauless for the moment. Unbelieveably the buyer was from Chile and had the boat and trailer shipped to South America!

Bought a 2000 Colgate 26 - more of a daysailer and better suited to the sailing we do on Lake Erie. I miss the Beneteau already, the difference in quality of construction/finish is very noticeable.

Sorry I don't know where in Chile the F265 is going, it was all handled by an agent in Florida.

It's cold in Chile................hence the name.

But their Sauvignon Blanc is a world beater.

The F265 has a wine rack underneath the nav station. I always thought was a great spot for it!
