Description Price just lowered by $10K. Owner wants boat sold this fall!!
KATERINA is a much loved and exceptionally well-maintained and updated Dufour 45e. Offered for sale by only her second owners, the boat has benefitted from two very knowledgeable sailing couples quite capable of managing the yacht. Many thoughtful custom options are found throughout the vessel. She is an incredible pleasure to sail and equally at home crossing oceans as she is streaking across the Bay. With the desirable three cabin and two head layout there is plenty of room for family and friends for extended cruising. The boat is set up for short handed sailing without giving up performance, and with the optional bow thruster and spade rudder docking and maneuvering in tight quarters is a cinch.
The cockpit with twin wheels and fold down transom is worth noting. Thoroughly modern, and where one spends much time while aboard. The table set-up is so smart. Ergonomic helms and seating. And very waterplay friendly. Combined with the custom canvas, a highlight of the design and KATERINA, in particular.
The condition of this vessel will not disappoint. We invite your inspection, with early viewings recommended. She is priced reasonably and seriously offered for sale as the owners have their sights set on ‘the next one’!
Manufacturer Provided Description The Dufour 45 Performance has a modern look, thanks to her sleek hull lines. She has the
