Our Dufour 385 comes under the Ocean-going design category (category A) and is designed to withstand the severest conditions. But, as the manual emphasize, the sailing capability is equally dependent on the skills of the crew and their physical capacities. (Thus, there are quite clear limitations on what conditions we are seeking.)
The boat has construction no. 2 and is the boat presenteted on the Paris Boat Show in november 2003 and the boat appearing in advertising material for the model.
