1984 Dufour 35 now for sale.
Currently in La Paz, BCS Mexico. Beautiful Swimmer has been owned for 20 years by an experienced Canadian couple. Third owners Sailed extensively in Northern BC Alaskan and West coast of BC and USA. Then down to Mexico and the Sea of Cortez. Very strong and Sea worthy boat. Quick for size of boat, never grounded I scare far quicker than the boat. Never given us cause for concern very sure footed on the Ocean. Reason selling. 1 getting old. Powerful Tall rig looking to the near future with diminished capabilities. 2 Admiral needs more space so bigger boat with more stuff to keep me afloat for a while yet:-)
Started to refit before Covid, Should be finished by Mid March. Our initial refit 10years ago is well documented and our subsequent travel on our blog which I can’t mention. Initial plan to Sail the South Pacific hence, Southpacific engagement. Plan is to do work in LA Paz then up the Sea to Guaymas on the mainland side to finish off
I will be back in LA Paz on the 9th Feb 2023 and will post more photos then with Mexican phone number.

The theoretical maximum speed that a displacement hull can move efficiently through the water is determined by it's waterline length and displacement. It may be unable to reach this speed if the boat is underpowered or heavily loaded, though it may exceed this speed given enough power. Read more.
Classic hull speed formula:
Hull Speed = 1.34 x √LWL
A more accurate formula devised by Dave Gerr in The Propeller Handbook replaces the Speed/Length ratio constant of 1.34 with a calculation based on the Displacement/Length ratio.
Max Speed/Length ratio = 8.26 ÷ Displacement/Length ratio.311
Hull Speed = Max Speed/Length ratio x √LWL
A measure of the power of the sails relative to the weight of the boat. The higher the number, the higher the performance, but the harder the boat will be to handle. This ratio is a "non-dimensional" value that facilitates comparisons between boats of different types and sizes. Read more.
SA/D = SA ÷ (D ÷ 64)2/3
A measure of the stability of a boat's hull that suggests how well a monohull will stand up to its sails. The ballast displacement ratio indicates how much of the weight of a boat is placed for maximum stability against capsizing and is an indicator of stiffness and resistance to capsize.
Ballast / Displacement * 100
A measure of the weight of the boat relative to it's length at the waterline. The higher a boat’s D/L ratio, the more easily it will carry a load and the more comfortable its motion will be. The lower a boat's ratio is, the less power it takes to drive the boat to its nominal hull speed or beyond. Read more.
D/L = (D ÷ 2240) ÷ (0.01 x LWL)³
This ratio assess how quickly and abruptly a boat’s hull reacts to waves in a significant seaway, these being the elements of a boat’s motion most likely to cause seasickness. Read more.
Comfort ratio = D ÷ (.65 x (.7 LWL + .3 LOA) x Beam1.33)
This formula attempts to indicate whether a given boat might be too wide and light to readily right itself after being overturned in extreme conditions. Read more.
CSV = Beam ÷ ³√(D / 64)
