Description

EauPal is an exceptional and highly sought-after 2-cabin Owner’s Version of the popular Dufour 36 Classic Grand Cruiser, offering a fantastic balance of comfortable cruising capabilities, spacious accommodation and rewarding sailing performance. Boasting an incredibly rare provenance, with only 2 private owners from new - the first for just 1 year, the current owner has cherished, meticulously maintained, and sailed EauPal for the past 25 years. Definitely worth a viewing, whilst still on the hard.
