Dufour 34 Performance 2006

Hi Guys,
Can anyone tell me anything about the build quality of these boats? Particularly if the bulkheads are tabbed in or glued in. I believe the latter, the later model boats, are prone to 'racking' because of not being tabbed and are very 'noisy' in a seaway
TIA

Don't know the specific boat you are asking about, but I have a similar size/year/model/build Beneteau. Most are glued I believe, but so far they have not been noisy. In fact if anything the - the noise comes from cabinetry, hinges and other parts that are not glues/glassed, but experience change in the direction of stress-loads.
