Dufour, årg. 2008, skrogmateriale Glasfiber-armeret plast, Diesel, hjemhavn Kolding, This beautiful Dufour has until our purchase in May 2024 been a 1-owner boat and sailed in the Swedish archipelago. The boat is a 3-cabin version with double beds in each cabin. In each cabin there is plenty of closet space. The boat has a large longitudinal galley with all the equipment required in a modern boat, such as a large refrigerator. There is plenty of space in the cockpit and in the saloon there is a large U-shaped sofa with beautiful light Alcantara upholstery.
The boat has been continuously upgraded and has nice details such as moose skin on the steering wheel, integrated solar panel on the deck and an additional new 100W solar panel that is connected in the cockpit. Together with the 2 large water tanks, 2 different heating systems (electric and oil-fired), you can spend many days at sea without having to go ashore. There are windlasses both forward (25 m. chain) and aft (with lead line) as well as a swim ladder and outdoor shower aft. Movable bench for the helmsman which gives access to the bathing platform, cockpit table for 6 people with folding plates, 4 Harken lap winches, 2-blade folding propeller, electric pressure water pump, double kitchen sink with Corian lid, Corian worktop, speakers in saloon, speakers in cockpit, heating outlets in all 4 cabins, 20 liter hot water tank heated by engine cooling water or shore power, holding tank with emptying from deck and to sea, switch between holding tank and direct outlet, etc.
There are original cockpits and sprayhood - the latter upgraded in 2022 with new windows.
Finally, in 2024 we had all sails assessed by an external company (receipt available) and the sails were rated 4 out of 5 (as new). All sails are from North Sails and all sails can be handled from the cockpit area.
This winter the boat is bottom painted with Hempel treatment by a professional boat company, so the boat only needs to be treated again in 2 years.
Winter storage in Sweden was all years indoors and the boat is very well maintained.
