1982 Dufour 4800

The Dufour 4800 is a 35-foot classic cruiser with a proven track record. Designed by Johan Valentijn and built by Dufour Yachts in France, this fiberglass yacht features an iron keel and vinyl deck. She carries a single Yanmar 3GM30F diesel engine of 27 horsepower, recently rebuilt in September 2024 with only 50 hours since completion. The boat cruises at 6 knots with a maximum speed of 7.5 knots, consuming fuel efficiently at 2.5 liters per hour.

The interior layout provides two cabins with a total of seven berths arranged as three doubles and one single, along with one manual head. Headroom reaches 1.8 meters in both the saloon and master cabin. The galley sits on the port side and received a complete refresh of its countertop, sink, and lighting in December 2025. The bathroom was fully redecorated in January 2026. Equipment includes a two-burner gas stove with broiler, a supplementary 110-volt electric stove, and 12-volt refrigeration.

The sailing rig consists of an aluminum mast and boom original to 1982, with standing rigging installed in 2009. A Northsail mainsail with manual reefing pairs with a furling Genoa, both controlled by Lewmar manual winches. Navigation instruments include a Raymarine ST60 depth sounder and log alongside a handheld Garmin GPS. Power systems comprise 110-volt shore power with battery charger, two solar panels, and a mix of gel batteries replaced in October 2024. The boat carries two 90-pound plough anchors and one Fortress FX-16 aluminum spare, with a Simpson Lawrence 600 windlass for deployment.

Safety equipment includes six life jackets, a life ring, nine fenders, manual and electric bilge pumps, and a portable air conditioning unit. A Yamaha 2.5-horsepower four-stroke outboard and barbecue are included. The hull was last antifouled in October 2024 and polished in 2022. Wind instrument sensors currently require replacement.
