Hum! I said that a
member of this forum that has some
charter boats including Dufour says that the built quality is not what it used to be and now the boats are not better built then Beneteau and have given more problem. A friend that is
surveyor said to me the same regarding a
survey he had made on a recent Dufour.
I don't think that the quality is that different from Beneteau and in fact the 412 (that is a remake from the 410) is a well designed beautiful
boat with a nice
interior (with a
galley a bit small). A bit sticky on light winds I have heard, but great downwind and with medium winds. About the build quality, no comparison with an Arcona, that is at another level of built quality (and price) that was also mentioned by the OP.
