Specifications
This Dufour 1800 is a polyester cabin sailboat from 1980 with a length of 7.65 meters and a width of 2.61 meters. The ship is designed for recreational use on inland waters and lakes and offers space for four fixed berths. The boat features a round bilge hull and is steered with a tiller from the cockpit. The draft is 1.45 meters, making the ship suitable for various sailing areas within the Netherlands. The clearance height is approximately 11 meters, allowing it to pass under most large bridges.
Construction and Hull
The hull is made of polyester, a commonly used material in recreational boating due to its strength and ease of maintenance. The boat has a single rudder and is equipped with a manual bilge pump. No osmosis or traces thereof have been observed. The boat is equipped with an anchor secured with chain and line. Nets are installed on the foredeck for added safety.
Sailing Equipment
The Dufour 1800 is equipped with an aluminum mast and has four sails: a mainsail, jib, genoa, and spinnaker. The foresail is equipped with a furling system (smartroller), which facilitates operation from the cockpit. The mainsail is equipped with lazyjacks. The condition of the sails is described as reasonable. The spinnaker is supplied with a spinnaker pole.
Engine and Technology
The boat is equipped with a Volvo Penta MD5B diesel engine with a power of 8 hp. This inboard engine has one cylinder and is electrically started. The engine is from the same year as the boat (1980) and is equipped with indicator lights for temperature and oil pressure. The fuel tank has a gauge. The engine was last serviced in September 2024, according to the records.
In terms of electrics, the boat is equipped with three batteries, a battery charger, alternator, inverter, and shore power connection. The electrical installation operates on 12V and 220V.
Navigation and Communication
The onboard navigation equipment consists of a Clipper Duet speed and depth meter, GPS, compass, log/speedometer, and an autopilot. Additionally, there is a VHF radio, although no certificate is provided. A radio is also on board.
Interior and Comfort
Inside, the Dufour 1800 offers four berths, a navigation table, and a movable dining table. The galley is equipped with a 2-burner gas stove, a sink with a tap, a kitchen cabinet, and a refrigerator. The water tank has a capacity of 50 liters. The toilet is manual and discharges directly into open water. The interior cushions are in good condition, while the cockpit cushions need replacement.
Exterior Equipment
The cockpit is equipped with a sprayhood, cockpit table, outdoor cushions, swim ladder, fenders, lines, and a guardrail. Additional equipment includes a flag with flagpole, boat hooks, deck brush, extra anchor, paddle, various extra lines, and decorative cushions.

The last antifouling treatment and engine maintenance took place in 2024. The boat is taken out of the water annually for maintenance and winter storage on land. During the winter, the sails, sprayhood, and cushions are stored indoors. The sails are washed and checked for stitching every two years, with repairs made as needed.
Usage and Sailing Experience
The current owner has used the boat for day trips, weekend getaways, and vacations. The boat has mainly been used on inland waters and lakes. The operation of the furling jib from the cockpit contributes to ease of use while sailing. The boat is described as stable and spacious, with pleasant sailing characteristics.
