My dear fellow sailormen:
Looking to increase my boat size (other plastic surgery will not help) I find a Dufour 43. This looks suitable for my needs, but will she behave well under sail? It is a scary thought to buy a boat for the looks of the interior, and then find that she doesn't sail well.
This one has a rather shallow draft and a fixed 3-bladed prop.
I believe this model is called the Dufour Gibsea 43. Not sure if it is the same as the Dufour Classic 43?
Any comments would be very helpful
