Re: Refit of our Dufour

I removed one half of the skeg for reasons as:

- rusty steel plate and bolts inside.
- delamination of the GRP
- cracks in the GRP because of expanding wooden core inside
- osmosis

Re: Advice needed about skeg

MarkSF: thanks for the link. It's a good suggestion.
Slitting up as you said was my thought, but i am not sure about that.

Neilpride:No, the skeg is solid and rigid.

@ Dennis: maybe a flatter roof is more beautiful?

Another thing i saw at your photos: the winches are close to the doghouse. Can you still make a full turn with your winch handle?

Re: pilot house sailboats

A pilot house sailboat is very nice, but often expensive.

We intend to make a doghouse on our Dufour 35, but a doghouse is not fully enclosed, as a pilothouse is.

Re: Why still indirect injection on boats?

Well, i like less noise and a stable running of the engine. But i do not like the glowing part.

Re: Self-steering auxiliary rudder

I believe the Hydrovane is the only wind vane with a aux. rudder.
Onno, you are right, the rudder of the Hydrovane cannot be lifted, but 'only' dismantled (or disconnected)

Re: DUfour 35

This is the main reason why we are doing it this way.
Only main bulkheads are remaining.
