Hull:
• The sandwich design of the hull makes for very good thermal and acoustic insulation.
• The lamination of the network of ribs reinforces the hull’s solidity and in this way ensures very good spreading of the forces from the keel and rigging.
• The inner moulding liner, with its perfect surface finish, produces additional stowage space under the floors and allows easier cleaning.
• Prevention of osmosis on the hull with the use of an NPG gelcoat.
Deck:
• The deck is produced by infusion for an optimum rigidity/lightness ratio, along with excellent thermal and acoustic insulation, and has an inner moulding liner for a perfect finish.
• All working and traffic areas have a ‘diamond-point’ non-slip surface.
• Localised monolithic reinforcing areas are included under deck fittings (winches, tracks, chain-plates, cleats).
• To increase the boat’s durability, Dufour’s team of engineers have opted to minimise wooden structural inserts beneath deck fittings.
Hull/Deck Junction:
• A straight sheer strake forms the join between the hull and the deck. This assembly ensures the watertightness of the hull/deck join and increases safety when moving around on deck.
• The wooden toe-board emphasises the deck line, and offers non-aggressive protection for the feet.
• The join between the transom/hull is built flat for greater aestheticism.
Keel:
• For maximum life, keels undergo factory treatment before fitting (anti-corrosion and improved finish thanks to epoxy-based paint and coatings).
• The keel, with a large sole-plate, is fixed to the boat with a system of stainless steel backing-plate and nuts.
• The (bulb) keel is in cast iron: 1.90 m (6' 2").
• As an option, a long, mixed cast-iron/lead ballast keel with a draft of 2.25 m (7' 4") allows superior (stiff, close-winded) performance, whilst maintaining an acceptable draft, lowering the centre of gravity, and increasing the boat’s stability.
Helm System:
• 2 leather-sleeved stainless steel steering wheels, 1066 mm (3' 5") in diameter.
• The steering wheels are easily controllable from a seated position on the helmsman’s side bench seats.
• Transmission system via chain and cranks connected to the rudder quadrant.
• The rudder blade is semi-elliptical in shape – taking advantage of the latest research in hydrodynamics – and filled with very high density, closed-cell epoxy foam to avoid any ingress of water.
• The solid stainless rudder stock is mounted on self-aligning bearings for greater precision and lightness of the helm whatever the wind conditions.
• Stainless steel emergency tiller.
• Access deck-plate for emergency tiller.

• Self-draining anchor locker forward, with hatch cover.
• Anchor eyebolt.
