Dufour Yachts are well known for their high-quality construction, meticulous attention to detail and their superb handling. "BLUE MOON", a 2000 Dufour 38 Classic, is not only a joy to sail but also has a spacious interior beautifully finished in mahogany. This classic sloop was a freshwater boat until late 2016 when she was transported to Mexico. Many upgrades and meticulous maintenance since then: standing rigging replaced in 2022, all new interior and exterior cushions, added 640 watts of solar on a custom arch and a Spectra watermaker that can provide 15 GPH of fresh water. "BLUE MOON" is cruise-ready and just waiting to take you on your adventure.
Vessel Walkthrough "BLUE MOON" can be boarded from either side through her port or starboard gates or thru her aft gate leading to her swim platform. A custom solar arch provides support for the bimini shade in the cockpit, where you will find wrap around seating with Teak at the helm. Electronics and a large folding table are both found on binnacle at the helm. The cockpit deck is finished in teak and a bimini covers the companionway. On deck the fiberglass is in above average condition as "BLUE MOON" was a freshwater boat for 17 years.
Coming down the companionway will lead to the main salon with seating and navigation station to starboard. Well-equipped, walkthrough galley to port where all of her wood finishes shine. Starboard side and aft of the companionway, a door leads to walk-in storage.
An oversized quarter berth is located aft and to port. Entering this stateroom and to centerline, there is a large wooden sliding door opening over the engine space, and lighting for easy engine access. Extra storage is found under the quarter berth. The head is located to port between the quarter berth and galley. Head is equipped with electric head, shower, mirror, sink, and opening hatch.
