Yachtsnet's
archive of boat details and pictures
|
| |
The following information and photographs are
displayed as a service to anyone researching yacht types. Details
and photographs are normally based on one specific yacht, but could
be a compilation. No reliance should be placed on other yachts of
the same class being identical. Where common variations exist,
we have endeavoured to indicate this in these archive details.
The price guide covers the normal ranges of age and condition. Exceptional
boats, whether good or bad, may fall outside these guidelines. |

The Dufour "Classic" range was introduced in
1995/96. All were designed by J. & J. Designs, and were
intended as comfortable cruisers with good sailing performance.
The 32 is the second smallest of the range. The yacht shown
here is the deep fin keel version, with wheel steering. The
hulls are GRP sandwich with high density PVC foam core, laid
up using vacuum bagging techniques, and the decks are GRP
balsa sandwich construction. Dufours website has more information
on the design. Production appeared to cease in early 2004.
