Information Exchange

The Association provides forums for members to exchange information with other members, and these are mainly used to help other members with technical information about their Dufour yachts. These might be specific Dufour repairs and problem solving; upgrade discussions; quality issues; extra equipment or supplies; or a range of other issues. This takes a number of forms including the members’ forum, the archive of manuals, articles in Dufour News. etc.
