Stylist is a rather smart well equipped Dufour 1800. Launched in 1980. The 1800 evolved from the Dufour 25 and is probably the ultimate pocket cruiser with over 200 built from 1979 until production ceased 3 years later. The 1800 refers to the displacement of 1800 Kg. not LOA. The design became very popular in the early 80’s setting the bench mark for small cruisers. Stylist is a little over 25ft she is surprisingly spacious with 4 good size berths. Under current ownership, she has undergone many improvements and upgrades including a redesign, by a Naval Architect, of the Lifting System for the keel. Equipped with tiller pilot, chart plotter plus new batteries, wind turbine, recent engine service even a new sea toilet. All this in the last two years plus a fresh coat of antifoul in July this year. Stylist is ready and able, and with the benefit of the lifting keel and beaching legs, Stylist can anchor in areas that other boats cannot reach !
Stylist is reluctantly for sale by the current owners due to mainland commitments hence the low asking price therefore an early viewing is advised
