2006 Dufour 34 Performance, 72 995 EUR

The boat has excellent sailing characteristics, is timelessly elegant and sporty, easy to control, and comfortable below deck. We bought it first-hand, no charter, no regatta.

All ropes are redirected to the cockpit, making sailing maneuvers safe and easy for two persons or single handed. The boat is very easy to steer during harbor maneuvers, even with crosswind. It responds directly, quickly and reliably.

Below deck, the moabi mahagony provides a high level of comfort. The boat has a large and cozy saloon with two long sofas, a folding table and an L-shaped galley. This is the 2-cabin version.

We own the boat since 10 years and have used it in all the years for holiday sailing. In 2024 we have spend a 6 months sabbatical on board to cruise in the Med. For this we did further upgrades, new antifouling and prepared the boat well for safe navigation and careless days at anchor.
