New Boats
Dufour 30 Classic
Another new listing, and a very attractive Dufour 30. Regularly sailed out of the Royal Queensland Yacht Squadron and very well maintained. She has an extensive inventory and has been upgraded and improved to become a very desirable yacht. Six berths, two double cabins and a very comfortable saloon and galley. The electronics include 2023 Axiom at chart table with Raymarine evolution tiller pilot with P70 display. A new EV -100 tiller drive was fitted in 2013. There is a Raymarine AIS 700 transceiver (2023) and Raymarine AIS splitter and four high speed Raynet ports (2023) She has a Plastimo liferaft (6 person) and a full set of safety gear. All canvas was replaced in 2022. Antifouled and new rudder bearings June 2024. Sail inventory includes FB Ullman main (2021) Ullman Dacron Genoa (2021) and a Doyle spinnaker. The standing and running rigging was all replaced in 2022. This easily handled yacht is the perfect club event and WAGS boat and is an absolute joy to sail. Available to inspect by appointment at RQ Manly.

This is one of the last Catana 58 catamarans ever built, and she was, more or less, a custom project and meant to be the rocket ship version of this all time classic world voyaging catamaran. Her owner made use of carbon fiber in every area of the build to bring down her weight. Careful decisions were made at every turn on her build to make her the fastest Catana 58 ever built. And she is that.
Go over her specifications, examine her interior, her inventory, and what you have here is a near-new boat, built to the highest possible standards, for an amazing price. A yacht such as this could not be duplicated today for anything less than US$2,300,000. She has every possible piece of high-end equipment you can add to a performance cruising cat.
She is one of my personal “best values” catamarans for someone wanting a near new boat of this size that has the get up and go to sail anywhere in the world in speed and comfort.
