Southampton show - Dufour

[captainforbes]

Has anyone seen the Dufour 40 at the show? I've bought the boat, but not yet seen it!
I hope you had clean feet if you were aboard! Tell me she's nice.

Bloody Hell - that was quick. 3 minutes ago you were asking for advice about the boat !!

You didn't buy that dog, surely tell me you're joking! The finish is appaling and the equipment, tacky to say the least. Glue all over the place and unfinished joints, ill fitting doors etc, bare wood and fibreglass. I guess you will get them to put all the faults right, if you aren't joking about buying it..

do you mean the one that sunk at the pontoon? apparently, some 5 year old pushed too hard on the hull and put their hand through it!

I thought it was a bit thin, when I could see folk walking about inside, through the hull! Didn't dare stand on it, being a touch portly!

mind you, a marina full of semi transparent boats would make for some interesting overnight stops! and being able to put them inside would stop people from nicking my solar panels.

I wish I had your sense of humour. I really have bought the boat, but god knows how I'll pay for it.

My wife wants to know what your tackle and equipment is like, hopefully not too much excess glue?

Very little glue on my tackle! But I was serious!

Very little glue on my tackle! But I was serious! Decided honesty was the best policy.
