Dufour sailboats have a reputation for being seagoing passagemakers. The builder has a philosophy that stresses a combination of performance and comfort under all manner of weather conditions. The 38 crosses oceans and is as at home in the Virgin Islands as the English Channel. The 38's underbody, with its fin keel and fine entries, combines speed and stability with fingertip control, even when reefed in heavy weather. A perfect racer/cruiser and easily short or single-handed.
