2000 Dufour 38' _{(11.58 m)} Classic 38

Vessel Walkthrough and Details

BLUE MOON can be boarded from either side through her port or starboard gates or through 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 wraparound 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.

Moving forward through the galley there is fixed, bench-style seating located mid salon with solid backrest which provides security for cooking while underway. Storage is found under this seating.

Continuing forward is the master stateroom with a double-sized vee berth, generous headroom, hanging locker to port, and a bench with more storage to starboard. Opening hatches and fans ensure great ventilation.
