The Noelex

A trailable cruiser/racer, the Noelex was first built in New Zealand. The Noelex 25 was produced after the success of the Noelex 22. A major design addition was a self tacking jib.

All Noelex yachts built are numbered consecutively. The NX25 series began with number 500 and the last NX25 built in New Zealand was number 911. All production of the yachts in New Zealand ceased when the moulds were sold to Australian interests in 1987. 

The interior layout has been modified but the original design and rig configuration have not been altered. Strict One Design Class rules are maintained for racing. The Noelex 25 is a fast racer and an ideal cruiser.

The Noelex 30 has many of the features of the NX25 but is much larger. It has a shower and most have built in diesel engines
