Broker's Comments

Probably the best example of a Dufour Arpege that you will find!
A good survey on purchase in 2003 has been improved upon, with all recommendations carried out by her knowledgable and experienced owner. She is presented for sale in first class order with many recent additions and improvements. 'Well balanced, quick and easily handled' was the Yachting Monthly verdict when they trialled the Arpege again in April 2005. 'A modern classic' was Tom Cunliffe's opinion of the marque.
Rarely have I seen a better cared for example and her immaculate condition puts many younger yachts to shame. To appreciate her you really must view her as my pictures do not do her the justice that she deserves.
This yacht has been viewed and photographed by Alan of Boatshed Wales. Register or log in to see more photos of this boat. These boat details are subject to contract.
