Renegade Sale Video-UPDATED

This 1978 Dufour Ketch is a proven Bluewater Cruiser and is ready to set sail with a new owner. This vessel was designed by Michel Dufour and built in the famed LaRochelle boat yard, to rigorous French Naval Specifications. This turn-key vessel is currently a full time live-aboard blue water cruiser and is located in Fiji, the jewel of the South Pacific. This boat is perfectly suited for a family or couple. The interior includes a spacious aft master cabin with en suite head and two forward twin-cabins that share a second head. The foc'sle has been converted into a workshop/"garage" to store tools, spares, and toys. This boat has been our home for the past two years and has been actively cruised by our family in the South Pacific. Prior to our ownership, this vessel completed a full circumnavigation, followed by a Pacific crossing. Our active family has utilized this vessel as a base for surfing, kiteboarding, fishing, SCUBA diving and more and it has the room to store enough gear for a family of four. Sadly, our adventures must come to an end (for now) as our California home burned in the recent wildfires. Asking Price: $85,000 US.
