Reviews and testimonial
BOATS AND YACHTING, Malta, (Nov/Dec 07) Deborah RADCLIFFE reports:
"I was totally impressed by her handling - so stable and balanced..."
"... the Dufour 425 is so responsive, you simply don't feel the picking up of speed!"
"Her styling is chic and classic - with typical French touches - conical lampshades, designer tap fitments , "marbled" tops to the surface on the capacious heads..."
