Remarks :
This rare Dufour 43 Centre Cockpit is a marvellous cruising yacht offered in excellent condition. The layout is very spacious and comfortable for cruising, entertaining, or living aboard. The centre cockpit configuration, in-mast furling main and furling jib make the boat easy to handle short handed, or easy to sail in various conditions. The interior is finished with a very striking Khaya Mahogany and is like new. Dufour made few of these centre cockpit models, but they are fantastic to sail and use. The owner has spent in excess of £10K on upgrades to include new deck hatches, re-bedding of all deck fittings, new cooker, new fridge compressor and new running rigging. This boat is not to be missed. Viewings highly recommended.

Accommodation

The interior is finished in an attractive Khaya Mahogany. The saloon is composed of a large dining table, a comfortable navigation table, and a linear galley on the port side. The Forward cabin has its own ensuite head with a hand held shower, a vanity-desk with excellent joinery and a mirrored desktop. Excellent hanging lockers with ample storage below the double berth. The master cabin aft is accessible via the galley. A large double queen sized berth with walk around access. Excellent cabinetry and drawers, hanging locker to starboard, settee and cabinets to port. The master head has a full stand-up shower station and a separate basin and vanity.

The large galley on the port side runs fore and aft. This arrangement allows for lots of counter work-space, lots of storage. Cabinets next to the engine compartment under the centre cockpit expand the space and utility.
