Broker's Comments

This lovely sound-feeling little Dufour 2800 28 footer needs a little bit of TLC - she was purchased by the owner, who is the first to admit he has not sailed her.

She has been lived aboard for a brief period and looked after and appears complete but after two years and changing circumstances, the owner wants a quick sale, so the price means she is a real bargain if you have the time to tidy her up.

The French design gives a nice flow to the cabins below and gives a priority to stowing your bottles of wine!

Work has been done to the batteries and lighting and the canopy seem in good condition, but need a clean, as does the cooker and galley, but she is well stocked with fenders and those little bits and bobs you have to purchase with a boat.

We think she's worth a look!
