1973 Dufour Classic Sloop

Honolulu, Hawaii

$27,000

French ingenuity makes la différence in the Dufour 35.

The Dufour 35, produced from 1972 to 1982 in La Rochelle, France, is a wonderful blend of classic features and innovation, another feather in the cap of the iconic French designer Michel Dufour.

At 6 tons, the Dufour 35 won’t bounce like a cork in an ocean swell, yet the boat remains quick on her feet. The skeg-hung rudder and encapsulated cast-iron keel lend a feeling of security against a brush with an unidentified floating object. And with its extra-long fin keel, the 35 is maneuverable, tracks well, and can easily be balanced or hove to under sail.

Additional Information

The deep cockpit keeps the crew dry on all but the stiffest beats.

Below, the Dufour 35 can challenge even the beamiest modern yachts in terms of living space. In addition to a saloon and forepeak cabin, it has a quarter berth on the starboard side aft, behind a spacious navigation table. Headroom is 6 feet throughout. Pilot berths line both sides of the saloon, and a convertible table/settee area sleeps two more. Altogether, the 35 offers a whopping eight berths, but we find that four adults make a comfortable maximum on extended trips.

Interior decor varies, but the layout is standard. To port is an L-shaped galley with a gimbaled two-burner stove/oven and a cool box. Five large ports provide light, while overhead hatches allow for good ventilation on tropical nights. Handholds are plentiful throughout the interior, and the boat has a wet locker that lies to port of the companionway.
