Owners Comments
"Shofa" is a very nice example of the Dufour Arpage. She has a practical sea going internal layout which makes the most of her wide beam, The saloon features two settee berths with raised outer berths. there are two further single berth aft by the companionway, the heads are located forward of the saloon, and there is a large store area in the bow.
Owned for nearly 20 years by present owner, he purchased her in Chichester and had a survey at that point, all recommendations were carried out, since then he's continually upgraded including plotter, VHF, tanks & taps, re-wire
In the broker opinion, the boat is extremely well presented, recent top side hull polish and antifoul and a very clean interior and exterior make this a very attractive proposition indeed. the boat also sails really well.
