Dufour 38 Classic

Performance and reliability define this 1998 Dufour 38 Classic, currently lying in the Veneto region of Italy. Offering a balanced 3-cabin, 1-bath layout, this cruising sailboat is designed for comfortable coastal passage-making, accommodating up to 10 people. The hull is constructed from glass-reinforced plastic, with an overall length of 11.98 meters and a displacement of 6,500 kg, ensuring stable handling under various conditions. Mechanical integrity is a highlight of this listing. The Volvo Penta MD2040B engine, delivering 40 HP, was removed and professionally overhauled by a Volvo Penta official in 2023, with approximately 1,460 hours recorded as of mid-2025. Propulsion is supported by a sail-drive transmission paired with a Radici three-blade propeller. Further technical reliability is provided by the 2023 replacement of all sea cocks. Rigging and sail inventory have been thoughtfully upgraded for improved performance and longevity. The mast was unstepped in 2018 at Lefkas, where the standing rigging was replaced alongside new sprayhood and bimini installations. The sail plan includes a roller-furling mainsail from 2018 and a genoa from 2020, complemented by an adjustable backstay tensioner. Onboard systems prioritize self-sufficiency and comfort. The electrical setup includes Raymarine electronics and solar panels for energy management. Interior amenities are in excellent condition, featuring a 2013 Eno Gascogne two-burner stove. The inventory also includes a 2023 tender with its own engine, and a custom summer cover. This used boat is offered at a reduced price of 65.000 EUR, with VAT status confirmed as paid. Please note the price is negotiable and excludes agency commissions.
