2001 Dufour 38 Cruiser, Varattu

The Dufour 38 Classic (2001) is a versatile and thoughtfully upgraded cruising yacht, offering an excellent balance of comfort, performance, and independence at sea.

Her three-cabin layout with a single head provides practical accommodation for families or groups, while the well-designed saloon and galley create a comfortable living space for longer stays onboard.

Above deck, the cockpit is notably spacious and user-friendly, featuring a folding table and autopilot system, making both entertaining and short-handed sailing equally enjoyable.

Powered by a dependable 40hp Volvo Penta diesel engine with sail drive, and supported by generous tank capacities, she is perfectly suited for extended cruising.

This yacht stands out thanks to a range of recent improvements focused on reliability and energy autonomy. The installation of dual 200W solar panels, a Power Queen MPPT controller, and LiFePO4 lithium batteries allows for efficient off-grid living.

The rigging has been thoroughly inspected, with a new forestay and upgraded Dyneema lines throughout, ensuring strength and durability under sail. A full sail wardrobe, including an asymmetric spinnaker, is included and in very good condition.

Extra features such as a 1000W electric windlass, a dinghy with a 5hp outboard, and an extensive collection of leisure equipment, from diving and fishing gear to foil and kite gear, make this boat a complete, ready-to-go package.
