REMARKS

"La Belle" was purchased by her present owners through ourselves in 2017 and has been based here at Tollesbury Marina. She has been lightly used for local cruising around the East Coast and Kent. Her owners have maintained her to the highest standards and upgraded items regardless of cost. She is a beautiful example of the Dufour 30 Classic, being responsive to sail and easy to handle under power. She would make an ideal first boat or perhaps perfect for anyone downsizing.
