Hello from
Sydney Australia
I have been looking for a Cruising Forum for a while and after a short browse around the
forums this one seems to be a friendly and well informed place, so thanks for inviting me in.
My
boat is a
Dufour 35
Classic, launched in 1999. She spent a few years in
Survey and in
Charter in the Whitsundays, then the last few years before I bought her, in Pittwater about 20nM north of
Sydney harbour.
I had the good fortune to buy the
boat (in March this year) from a fanatical ship's husband and she is in great cosmetic condition for an 8 year old boat. The only things that I have done to improve her has been to install a Lowrance
GPS chartplotter, and converted the
head to
electric. Also took off around 500Kg of spare "stuff"
Before
buying her I had the boat surveyed and the
marine surveyor found around $10,000AUD worth of
repairs that were done by the former owners. Big thumbs up for offering to buy your boat "Subject to satisfactory survey".
Looking forward to participating in the
forums
Any other
Dufour 35 owners on board?
