I. GENERAL INFORMATION
Yacht design category
Your DUFOUR 430 enters into design category OCEAN (category A).
Under normal conditions of use, your boat is designed to sail in waves of a significant height over 4
m, winds of Beaufort force 8 and above, and to resist under more severe conditions.
This navigational capacity also depends on the skill of the crew, their physical capacity, boat

So always take care before putting to sea.

conditions (violent storms, hurricanes, cyclones, waterspouts, etc.)
