The
Dufour Arpege 
| |
The
Arpege was designed by Michael Dufour in 1966 as the first
of his volume production boats. It quickly gained a reputation
in Half Ton Cup racing. However, it was also a spacious
boat, with a very broad beam for its time, as a review
in 1966 commented " it is astonishing how much space
below the increase in beam makes."
With
an overall length of 9.25m (30 ft 4 inch), beam of 3.02m
(9 ft 11 inch), a draft of either 1.35m (4 ft 5 inch)
or 1.62m (5 ft 4 inch)
and a displacement of 3,632Kg (8,000lb), it is a substantial
craft.
Three
washboards and a sliding hatch with a garage give access
to the accommodation. Two steps take you onto the engine
cover and then the sole. At the foot of the companionway,
the navigation area is to starboard and the galley to
port. The chart table has a large sloping top chart
table, with a large tray below. The galley and navigation
area can be closed off from the rest of the cabin. The
saloon has two settees with storage below and pilot
berths outboard. The forepeak , which is unlined, contains
the heads, storage and a sail-bin.
