Dufour 30 - thoughts?

I'm thinking of purchasing a 1998 Dufour 30 Classic, any thoughts on things to look out for or any thoughts on the boat? This will be my first yacht ownership after sailing dinghies for years along with other people's yachts.

Cheers
Chris

We used to race against a 30 Classic called Mellow Moments in West Highland Week.

It had the double spreader rig and was very fast!

I havn't been below on one but I would say that the cockpit and deck were nicely laid out, with decent fittings etc.

Again, I was impressed with its sailing capabilities.

Ideal for coastal cruising.
