While the rudders whe- els are always two Trailer track In the higher priced versions of this model, the boat is equipped with a long track and mainsail trailer. High freeboards The freeboards of this boat are very high, while the deckhouse is remarkably low. The inner height is the same as in other models, but the boat looks sportier Low gooseneck The boom, which is much lower than on competing models, makes working on the mainsail easier Chine The elbow that determines a variation in the angle of raise of the hull is located a few dozens of centime- tres above the waterline 1 3 2 4 11 9 Dufour 390 3,99 mt 13,09 ft Dolphin striker The dolphin striker that was an optional not so long ago, has now become a fixed component of the boat and is very useful. Chain locker The chain locker is very large and has good slope, but it is not very deep Windows The boat has many windows, and all of them are peculiar. At first we find the window on the forward cabin located at the end of the coachroof, and finally the large transversal window in the centre of the coachroof Cowling The boat is fully cowled. Lines run under the cow- ling as soon as they get down the mast, and come out at the end of the coachroof Platform Thanks to a new opening system, the platform is deeper Aft galley The aft galley is very well equipped. Here we find a grill with a removable plate for easy cleaning, a sink and a large hob. 8 9 10 6 6 11 7 12 12 ADV Dufour models can be visited and tested at the Dufour trial bases managed by Euro Sail Yacht at Marina Punta Faro in Lignano and in the Loano marina.
