The sandwich design of the hull makes for very good thermal
and acoustic insulation.
The lamination of the network of ribs reinforces the hull’s
solidity and in this way makes allows very good spreading
of the forces from the keel and rigging.
The inner molding liner with its perfect surface finish produces
additional stowage space under the floors and makes
for easier cleaning. Prevention of osmosis on hull with
the use of a NPG gelcoat.

> > > D E C K > > >

The deck is produced by infusion for an optimum rigidity/
lightness ratio along with excellent thermal and acoustic
insulation, and has an inner moulding liner for a perfect
finish.
All working and traffic areas have a ‘diamond-point’ nonslip
surface.
Localized monolithic reinforcing areas are included under
deck fittings (winches, tracks, chain-plates, cleats).
To increase the boat’s durability, Dufour’s team of engineers
have opted to minimize wooden structural inserts
beneath deck fittings.

> > > H U L L / D E C K J U N C T I O N > > >

A straight sheer strake forms the join between the hull
and the deck. This assembly ensures the watertightness
of the hull/deck join and increases safety when moving
about on deck.
The wooden toe-board emphasizes the deck line, and offers
non-aggressive protection for the feet.
The join between the transom/hull is built flat for greater
aestheticism.

> > > K E E L > > >

For maximum life, keels undergo factory treatment before
fitting (anti-corrosion and improved finish thanks to
epoxy-based paint and coatings).
The keel with a large sole-plate is fixed to the boat with a
system of stainless backing-plate and nuts.
The (bulb) keel is in cast iron: 1.90 m.
As an option, a long, mixed cast-iron/lead ballast keel with
a draught of 2.25 m allows superior (stiff, close-winded)
performance, whilst maintaining an acceptable draught,
lowering the centre of gravity, and increasing the boat’s
stability.

> > > H E L M S Y S T E M > > >

2 leather-sleeved stainless steering wheels, 1066 mm
in diameter.
The steering wheels are easily controllable from a seated
position on the helmsman’s side bench seats.
Transmission system via chain and cranks connected to
the rudder quadrant.
The rudder blade is semi-elliptical in shape — taking
advantage of the latest research in hydrodynamics — and
filled with very high density closed-cell epoxy foam to
avoid any ingress of water.
The solid stainless rudder stock is mounted on selfaligning
bearings for greater precision and lightness of
the helm whatever the wind conditions.
Stainless steel emergency tiller
Access deck-plate for emergency tiller.
