Overview
The Dufour 36 Classic is a fantastic cruising yacht with comfortable accommodation, quick and responsive to sail, and easy to handle short handed.
‘Safia’ has never been chartered or raced and she is in excellent condition. She benefits from a simple slab reefed mainsail and a professionally maintained Volvo MD2030 diesel engine.
Recent improvements include all new bronze seacocks, new sail drive seal, new dinghy, and new plotter/AIS.
‘Safia’ is the perfect sail-away package, ready for new adventures.
