The deep cockpit keeps the crew dry on all but the stiffest beats.

Below, the Dufour 35 can challenge even the beamiest modern yachts in terms of living space. In addition to a saloon and forepeak cabin, it has a quarter berth on the starboard side aft, behind a spacious navigation table. Headroom is 6 feet throughout. Pilot berths line both sides of the saloon, and a convertible table/settee area sleeps two more. Altogether, the 35 offers a whopping eight berths, but we find that four adults make a comfortable maximum on extended trips.

Interior decor varies, but the layout is standard. To port is an L-shaped galley with a gimbaled two-burner stove/oven and a cool box. Five large ports provide light, while overhead hatches allow for good ventilation on tropical nights. Handholds are plentiful throughout the interior, and the boat has a wet locker that lies to port of the companionway.
