Specifications
The Dufour 4800, a sailing yacht from 1984, is a classic example of the craftsmanship and innovation of the French shipyard Dufour. Designed by J. Valentijn and Michel Dufour, this yacht offers a combination of comfort, performance, and durability.
With a length of 10.65 meters and a width of 3.50 meters, the Dufour 4800 is a versatile vessel suitable for both inland waters and seas.
Construction and Design
The hull of the Dufour 4800 is made of fiberglass-reinforced polyester, a material known for its strength and resistance to the elements. The deck is constructed with a sandwich structure of balsa wood and GRP, contributing to the structural integrity and comfort on board. The round bilge hull shape ensures a stable and smooth sailing experience, even in rougher waters.
Sail Plan and Steering
This sloop-rigged yacht is equipped with Dacron sails and a Selden mast, providing an efficient and reliable sailing experience. The operation of the halyards and winches from the cockpit makes sailing easier and safer, especially for smaller crews. Steering is done via a wheel, offering precise control, and the steering position is outside, providing a good overview of the ship and surroundings.
Accommodation and Comfort
The Dufour 4800 offers sleeping accommodations for seven people, divided over two cabins. The interior space has recently been fitted with new upholstery and mattresses, enhancing comfort during longer stays on board. The galley is equipped with a 3-burner Eno marine stove with oven, a refrigerator, and a freezer, facilitating meal preparation on board. For extra comfort, an Eberspacher Airtronic AS2 D2L heater was installed in 2023, making the ship habitable year-round.
Engine and Electronics
The Dufour 4800 is powered by a Yanmar 3YM30 engine from 2022, providing propulsion under engine power. The Flexofold 3-blade folding propeller contributes to the efficiency and performance of the ship. In terms of electronics, the yacht is well-equipped with a Raymarine Axiom 7" plotter, Ray63 VHF radio, and i70s displays for speed, depth, and wind information. Two new batteries, installed in 2022, ensure a reliable power supply on board.
Safety and Equipment
Safety on board is ensured with a sturdy guardrail, fenders and lines, and a swim ladder for easy access to the water. The presence of a spinnaker pole offers additional sailing options. The anchor provides secure anchoring when needed.
Maintenance and History
The Dufour 4800 has a maintenance history that reflects careful attention to detail. In 2022, the underwater hull was completely stripped and rebuilt with a new gelcoat and antifouling, enhancing the ship's durability and performance. The boat is registered in the Dutch cadastre, and VAT has been paid, simplifying the administrative side of ownership.
The Dufour 4800 is a versatile and well-equipped sailing yacht suitable for both leisure sailing and longer voyages. With its robust construction, comfortable accommodation, and modern equipment, it offers an attractive option for sailing enthusiasts looking for a reliable and versatile vessel. Whether exploring inland waters or venturing out to sea, the Dufour 4800 provides a pleasant and safe sailing experience.
