Broker's Comments
Here is an example of one of these very popular Dufour Arpege vintage yachts - we can all see that she'll need some work and some more cleaning, but underneath it all, I'm sure that there's a lovely yacht waiting to burst out and be sailed!
Lines led aft and a a decent sized cockpit lead down below to a large and surprisingly roomy interior, divided into three sections - the galley and navigation area, with the largest, most voluminous chart table that I've ever seen, plus two berths and a moulded galley section.
These lead to a saloon area, with four berths and lots of stowage, followed by the bow section, housing a large sail locker and an athwartships heads/locker compartment.
With some elbow grease, care and attention, she may make someone a really nice yacht - a surprisingly large package at a truly budget price.

Note: Offers on the asking price may be considered.
