1982 Dufour 4800 CS for sale in Kent
This is a rare opportunity to purchase a 1982 Dufour 4800 CS which has been owned by the current owner for the past 38 years and is only being sold as he has passed away. This cruiser/racer offers seven berths in two cabins plus the saloon. It is only one of three Dufour 4800CS with a lead keel and 500LBS of lead ballast. It has a special Stearn mast, black anodised and was ordered with oversized winches to make sail handling easy. Unfortunately, we have little information on the maintenance that has been carried out over the years but the family believe that it has been well maintained. A berth at MDL Chatham marina is available.

History and Construction: This Dufour 4800 CS was built in 1982 and has been owned by the current owner for the past 38 years until he sadly passed away this year. It has a white GRP hull and superstructure with Dufour styling strips. It has a Lead fin keel with 500LBs of ballast.
We believe that it was last out of the water in 2022 when it was antifouled, anodes changed and hull was polished.
The Dufour 4800 CS was built between 1981 and 1984. We are not aware of many being sold to the Uk with the majority being sold into Europe and the USA. This is a great opportunity to pick up a good performing yacht that needs a bit of updating at a great price. A berth is also available within MDL Chatham Marina.
