DUFOUR 38 (rates)

Attractive on the outside and inside, the Classic 38 reflects Dufour's four decades experience in yacht building. Wide side decks and low profile cabin top give plenty of space on deck while the light Mahogany interior makes below a pleasant place to spend time. Easily handled under sail, the relatively deep draft of the keel makes the boat quicker than her length would suggest and the 40 hp Volvo sail drive gives precise handling under power. This boat is the two cabin version with wider aft cabin and large lazerette stowage. The saloon table converts into another double berth giving sleeping space for six if required.
A 2002 model presented in very good condition, Iranui's owners sailed her around the Med for two years before shipping her to New Zealand, where she joined our fleet in September 2007.
