Oops,

I think I put this in the wrong section ?

So here goes again.



Does anyone have any info on the dufour 1800 lift keel version ?

Any opinions gratefully received.

I had a look at a Dufour 1800 when I was looking for my Centaur, never sailed one though so I can only offer general impressions.

They are a fairly light boat so probably more of a cruiser/racer than a heavyweight sea boat. There are a few on Windermere so others probably think of them as Lake boats too. The one I looked at was at Troon so they can be used in tidal waters.

I liked the layout. There was only standing headroom at the hatch and I didn't like that on my previous Jaguar 25 so I didn't go any further.
