Reviews & testimonial
SAILING WORLD USA
"French boatbuilder Dufour probably isn't the first name that rolls off your tongue when you're talking raceboats with our buddies, but a new design from this builder piqued our curiosity. It's not a racer with an interior - it's more a performance cruiser - but if your're looking for a Q-ship to ambush the Wednesday night beer can race regulars, this design with estimated PHRF number of 89 might fit the bill"
