1998 Dufour DUFOUR 45 CLASSIC

This 1998 Dufour 45 Classic is a fiberglass sailing yacht measuring 45 feet in length with a 14-foot beam. Powered by a 60-horsepower diesel engine, she carries three cabins and two heads, making her suitable for extended cruising or family voyages.

The boat comes equipped with modern electronics featuring electronic charts covering the Great Lakes, eastern seaboard, and most of the Caribbean. Recent upgrades include new air conditioning units, new canvas from 2018, and a full suite of standing rigging replaced by Klacko Marine. The mast has been rewired, and the engine features new ignition wires and a new starter. An automotive-style heater with blower provides climate control below deck.

Sail hardware includes a Harken adjustable backstay tensioner, an adjustable whisker pole, and an asymmetrical spinnaker as part of the sail inventory. Two 100-watt solar panels provide auxiliary power, and a boat-to-shore boarding ramp is included. The yacht's systems have been maintained to a high standard and are ready for offshore sailing.
