Broker's Comments

This is a very clean and tidy Dufour 38 Classic, woodwork inside is lovely including headlinings and upholstery. She is a great sized 3 cabin boat perfect for a family or friends to enjoy sailing together. She comes with a lot of gear.... Dinghy, Outboard, Spinnaker with pole and a 2021 liferaft. She had her saildrive diaphragm replaced in 2023 and really is the full package. Lovingly maintained with annual services and time ashore each year.
