2000 Dufour classic

PROFESSIONALLY CLEANED WEEKLY!!

When an owner decides to have his sailboat washed weekly you know what kind of boat owner he is. This boat has been babied and meticulously cared for since new.

The 45 Dufour Classic is a striking, eye catching sailboat. With beautiful lines, deep draft, and a low profile, she is fast, comfortable, and performs very well on all points of sail. The Dufour 45 is designed with wide side decks, an ergonomic cockpit, and carefully selected high qualitiy deck fittings and rigging.

The interior is functionally layed out for offshore use and comfort. She is a 3 cabin design with a spacious master stateroom forward and two private cabins aft. The interior is trimmed in stunning light mahogany with a satin finish, a visual effect that grabs you when you enter the salon.

This is one of the only Dufour 45s available in the USA and you will not be disappointed. This vessel has been meticulously maintained since new by the original owner and shows like a new vessel. This boat was ordered new with the performance package, which was a substantial equipment upgrade over the stock boat. The seller has decided to pursue other ventures in life and has reluctantly put her on the market. See our Full Specifications sheet for complete details and pictures.

"Serenade" is a three stateroom layout with a beautifully appointed private master stateroom and private head/ensuite shower, situated forward. Aft of the salon are two identical double berth staterooms port and starboard. The aft head in the salon services both aft staterooms and salon area. There is a separate shower stall in the aft head.

The interior is trimmed in stunning mahogany with a satin finish, contrasting the white headliner and mahogany hand rails overhead. From the mahogany hand rails to the trimmed out hull sides, the fit and finish of the interior is top notch. When you enter the salon you notice the striking beauty of the light wood immediatly. Flooring surfaces are teak and holly.
