Great boat after some initial difficulties
Automatically translated.
Very nice reception at the base.
On Friday, someone comes specifically to the harbor and explains to us where we can park the car for a week.
On Saturday, we are allowed to store groceries in the fridge at 12 PM (we paid for early boarding, but access to the boat would only start at 1 PM).
The boat is handed over without complications.
We do not receive a key, as there isn't one. This was never a problem.
We still have to check ourselves if everything is on the boat. Missing items are brought without hesitation. A thorough check before departure is worthwhile, as always when chartering.
After disconnecting, I notice that the battery voltage is much too low. The problem is expertly resolved over the next two days, despite it being the weekend and a major religious holiday! Excellent service.
After setting off, the first maneuvers: the steering towards port is stiff and then makes a noticeable cracking sound. So back to the dock, and after about 1.5 hours, it is fixed and works perfectly from then on. If I had done a thorough check, turning the steering wheel, I could have noticed it earlier...
Setting the mainsail and genoa works super easily. A great experience with the Dufour. The sailing characteristics are also impressive. Fully reefed and up to 28 knots of wind: super to steer. We are very satisfied.
The boat had a few minor issues. It is not the newest, but the week was still great and the support was very good. Thank you!
