Any Other Dufour Owners Out There ?

[andrisc]

Good morning, everyone! I'm happy to say me & my wife have joined Dufour owners We are in New England and bought a 1979 Dufour 34 this year (model came out in 1974 as far as I've figured it out). We are going through a couple of projects - such as repowering and rebuilding internal systems - before we get her in the water next year. The previous owner did not get to finish putting things back together. It will be our first sailboat, and we have so much to learn. Any pointers to information on this boat or stories from owning or fixing one up would be greatly appreciated

We also just bought a Dufour 34 - 1975. It is our first boat and we will be doing a few projects as well (like adding shore power). Looking forward to hearing about your experiences.
