Dufour 38 Classic
The Dufour 38 Classic's are highly sought after and are renowned for their massive accomodation, fantastic sailing performance and high quality build. De Ja Vu is an excellent example of this hard to find yacht that was built back when production yachts were built for durability and strength.
She has been lightly used for club racing and cruising around Victoria and has been well maintained and regularly serviced. Der Ja Vu is currently being sailed every week and so is kept in tip top condition. She has a full suite of up to date Raymarine electronics including Autopilot, AIS and a HF Radio. Great for cruising with 350 litres of fresh water and 160 litres of fuel.
The interior accomodation is what you would expect in a yacht well over 40 feet in length, 3 generous cabins, a huge saloon, large galley with fridge/freezer, large head with seperate shower and the upholstery and timberwork present as new.
UPDATE : DeJaVu has just had complete new standing rigging fitted and the teak decks have just been refurbished and re-caulked
