Description:

The Aquilon 265, an evolution of the Aquilon 26, is an exciting boat to sail competitively, with well thought out amenities to cater for costal family cruises.

There are cruising and racing sailplan options. The racing version has a square-topped main, self-tacking jib and a screacher. The open bridgedeck is sheltered by the pods on either hull and can be covered by a bimini, leaving 6 ft (1.83 m) headroom.

The accommodation in the hulls, comprising head, galley, dining and sleeping areas, is very well lit from the large windows.

The hulls can be demounted for trailering. Sea-to-trailer takes two and a half hours.
