1992 Beneteau Tall Rig26ft

This TALL RIG double spreader Beneteau 265 has great light air performance yet is more manageable than most 27's or 28's. The 265 only draws 4' 2" with its bulb/wing endplate keel, yet goes to windward VERY well.    100%  Freshwater with light use. A real find for the right person.

Only a 26.5' boat with the 9'5" beam she is wider than most 27's, and though she is lighter (approx 2,000 lbs compared to many 27's), with the beam, she can manage the plentiful sail area. The result is a stable admirable performer.

Though can be modified to wheel steering, the tiller steering is preferred by many a club racer and sailor. Diesel powered with a folding prop, this 265 is NORTH SAILS equipped including spinnaker rigging;  however the spinnaker was lost. This tall rigged 265 FLIES off wind!! Options included are a Harken windward sheeting car, backstay adjuster, and a KVH instrument package, 2nd battery system, shorepower, & selftailing winches and almost all new halyards.  Just look at the photos.

Obviously pre-sailed boats are used boat and show some age but THIS  Beneteau 265  is cleaner and better maintained than most Beneteaus that you find.  These boats have sold from 30,000 to 12,000 depending upon condition, location and Fresh Water or Saltwater versions. Given the better condition that THIS Beneteau 265 represents she is fairly represented with the 22,500.00 pricing.  Make an offer not too far off and you will have this wonderful 265 ! !

For family recreation you'll find the double aft berth to compliment the huge V berth forward. And with the large cockpit and open transom design and custom transom ladder w/ teak steps, swimming with the kids is made more enjoyable.

Currently located in the water @ Little Rock, Ark. about 130 miles west of Memphis, the 265 is easy to get to on I 40 or I 30. Further, ROOKE SAILS has trucks, trailers, and people for relocating the boat if that is your pleasure.

With long term financing available, in most cases, the interest is deductible as a 2nd home. 7 to 10 year financing is typical.
