I just bought the boat (my first) and I am having problems finding information on it. I just have the basics on the specs. however, I have alot of questions. If anybody could point me in the right direction my life would become somewhat better. Love the boat!

I have the Dufour 27 (139) and a few manuals.
Is your boat similar to the one at the bottom of http://home.houston.rr.com/sailnby/dufour2.html

Thanks for answering. The hull shape is the same however, my cabin trunk is higher. My boat has a fin keel and the rudder looks the same as yours. I was told that the draft is 5'' and the water line is 22''. But that is all the info I have.
