1998 Dufour 38 Classic

Ipswich, Suffolk, United Kingdom

£49,950

Moonraker is a great example of the Dufour 38 Classic and is a credit to its current owners. Purchased in 2017, they are the second owners and have carried out lots of upgrades. A full list of works carried out is available on request, as is a survey carried out in 2023.



 

Presented to a very high standard she is clean inside and out and has everything needed to set to sea. She is currently owned by an engineer and caries a comprehensive list of spares including Anchor and Propeller. Engine spares include fuel and oil filters, Injector lines, impellers and associated gaskets. The original depth sounder and log have been replaced by new B&G systems but the originals are still fitted and working so provide inbuilt redundancy. The cockpit lockers are full of essential parts including ropes, deck fixings, flares and even a jet wash.

 


The owners have antifouled her, replaced the anodes and the sail drive membrane (June 2024) so there really will be nothing to do to be ready for the season.

 

This Dufour is an elegant cruiser and offers versatility and space with its twin aft cabin layout and forward and aft heads

Manufacturer Provided Description

Conceived by Olivier Poncin and developed by Yann Chabaud, the Dufour 38 Classic illustrates the intelligent use of space with no concessions in the use of materials or choice of fittings and navigational elements. Built to quality criteria defined by Dufour, the 38 Classic has been built for both comfort at sea and in port. You will appreciate the quality of the solid mahogany joinery that is dear to Dufour, the use of high quality fittings, the impressive space in the offset saloon, and the spacious galley along with the separate shower stall. The 38 is a blue water cruiser which fits in the middle of the exquisite Dufour Classic range.
