Lonke uchungechunge lwe-yacht ye-Dufour's Grand Grand (GL) ludizayinelwe ukukhulisa ivolomu yangaphakathi, ngakho-ke ukusuka esondweni eliphakathi kuya ebhodini lomsila, kuhlale kunebeam yokukhanya eyanele.
Ngamanye amazwi, ezimweni eziningi, baphinde banikeze izinguquko ezinhle zejubane nokusebenza okuzinzile, okulinganiselayo kokuhamba ngomkhumbi.
I-Dufour 425 GL ayikaze ilinganiswe njengesikebhe esiluhlaza okwesibhakabhaka, kodwa iqine ngokwanele ukuwela ulwandle ngendlela efanele, futhi iqine ngokwanele ukumelana nomoya onamandla nomoya kalula.
Umnsalo wakhe omuhle, iziqu ezishona phansi kanye nomugqa omude wamanzi kumenza abhekane nomoya ngokushesha nangokungenabudlova, kuyilapho ingemuva lakhe elingashoni kanye nengemuva elibanzi kumenza ashelele emoyeni.
I-hull eyakhiwe ngesandla kanye nedekhi yenziwe nge-resin engangeni emanzini ukuqinisekisa ubuqotho nokuqina.
Ngezintambo eziqinile ze-Twaron eziqinisiwe ze-longitudinal hull kanye nohlaka olusindayo olubunjiwe lwaphansi, iqinile futhi iqinile.
Umpheme wakhe uwukubumba kwenhlaka ye-polyester efakwe ku-vacuum enomgogodla wokhuni we-balsa, ohlinzeka ngokufakwa nokuqina okwengeziwe.
Unezinza ezimise okwe-fin ezinyaweni zakhe kanye negilobhu yensimbi eyinsimbi ezinyaweni zakhe, okusho ukuthi uqinile.
Iphini lokuqondisa ifosholo elijulile, elilinganiselwe kancane liqinisekisa ukuthi ikwazi ukulandelela kahle futhi ngeke ilahlekelwe ukubamba kwayo emanzini lapho inyathela kakhulu.
Isakhiwo sedeski esibanzi nesisebenzayo siqinisekisa ukusebenziseka kwabasebenzi abangenalutho kuyilapho kugcinwa umshini wokugijima ulula futhi ufanelekile.
Lokhu kuvumela ukufinyelela okulula nokuphephile kumphambili ofanayo ocacile, okuvumela abasebenzi ukuthi basebenze phansi kanye noseyili wangaphambili.
I-windlass ye-anchor engaphansi kwedekhi kanye nama-deck-anchor chain lockers enza ukubambelela kube lula, kanjalo namasondo ama-double bow amafushane nama-squat, avumela ihange lesibili ukuthi lisetshenziswe esimweni sezulu esibi.
I-Dufour 425 GL inamasondo amabili avula i-cockpit phezulu, kanti kanye nesihlalo esikhulu sokushayela esidonsela phansi, ungakwazi ukungena kalula endaweni yokugibela kanye nesitebhisi sokugoqa ngezicabha ze-beam.
Yize i-Dufour 425 GL ikwazi ukumelana nesivinini esiningi sokuhamba, ijubane le-reef lilinganiselwa ku-20 knots, ngakho-ke kulula kakhulu ukuyigibela.Umthombo wesithombe: Dufour Yachts
Kumodeli enamakhabethe amathathu, womabili amalokha ezihlalo awashoni, kodwa kukhona amagumbi amabili kuphela, elilodwa lawo elijule ngokugcwele futhi kufanele libe njengesipontshi.
Iwintshi yeGenoa iseduze nesigqoko sokuzivikela, kodwa ibhodi eliyinhloko linqamula ophahleni lwemoto.Uma uyisebenzisa ngesandla esisodwa ezimeni ezinomoya omkhulu, kungase kucasule.
I-rig yakhe ingu-15/16 wamaphuzu, ene-sweep spreader ekabili, i-Genoa egoqekile engu-135% kanye nezixhobo ezimbili, i-semi-laminated mainsail.
Ikhava nekhava engezansi zombili ziphela epuletini leketango elilodwa ohlangothini ngalunye, kodwa kuqiniswe kakhulu ngezansi ngamakhona ayindilinga asekelayo abunjwe ohlangothini lwesikebhe.
Ukupheka olwandle kungase kungazinzi, kodwa akunakwenzeka, futhi umpheki angasizwa ngokusebenzisa i-backrest njengekhefu lokusha.
Isihlalo semoto sihlanganisa ibhentshi elikhulu elimise okwe-U elinama-contour pads aminyene, kanye nebhentshi eligcwaliswe kahle ngakolunye uhlangothi.
Uma inketho eguqulekayo ikhethiwe, ithebula lizokwehla ukuze lidale enye indawo yokulala ekabili.
Kunendawo enhle yokugcina indawo ngaphansi komcamelo wesihlalo, ngaphandle kwengemuva lapho ithangi lamanzi ashisayo likhona, futhi kunengi ku-locker yomhume ngemuva kwesihlalo.
Isiteshi esikhulu sokuzulazula siya phambili silungele labo abafuna ukubeka ngaphansi kwamashadi ephepha anosayizi ogcwele kanye nohlu olubanzi lwamageji edeski.
U-Duncan Kent wabheka imakethe ye-cruise coastal 30-foot wathola ukuthi unemali eningi okufanele ayisebenzise…
I-yacht engamamitha angu-33 ene-cockpit enkulu, ama-rudder amabili, indawo emanzi kanye ne-barbecue grill.Ngezansi, unamagumbi okulala ayi-9…
Kukhona isikhala esiningi se-console, ezinye zazo ezitshekile, i-plotter yeshadi le-radar ingabonakala ephasishi, kanye nephaneli ye-circuit breaker ehloniphekile ene-voltmeter nemitha yethangi.
I-2/2 kanye ne-3/2 zithandwa kakhulu kubagibeli futhi banamakhompathi amabili kuphela angemuva, anesikhala esengeziwe samakhithi amanzi aluhlaza kanye nokugcinwa kwempahla yedeski eyengeziwe.
Ikhabhinethi engaphambili iyikhabhinethi enkulu kunazo zonke yabagibeli, enamakamelo amakhulu esiqhingi anethezekile, indawo eyanele yokugcina, izihlalo ezincane kanye nekhanda elihlangene elineshawa.
Igumbi elingemuva kwegumbi lenjini livulekile ngokulinganayo, nakuba indawo yokuvula ikhanda ngaphezu kwegumbi lokulala ilinganiselwe kakhulu.
I-Volvo ejwayelekile eyi-40hp efiselekayo ingagcinwa kalula ngokuphakamisa izinyathelo ezihambisanayo zehinji ephezulu kanye/noma ngokukhipha iphaneli yekota endaweni ngayinye engemuva.
Indawo emanzi engu-425′s enomkhawulo omanzi kanye nomzila wamanzi omude kumenza abe nezinguquko zejubane ezimangazayo ekukhanyeni noma emimoyeni enamandla.
Ngenxa yomnsalo wakhe omuhle neziqu ezilengayo, angakwazi futhi ukunquma izimbambo esikhundleni sokuzilahla emphemeni.
I-Dufour 425 GL nayo inephini elijulile nelilinganiselayo lokukhulisa ukulunywa, kodwa iphini lokuqondisa alisebenzi.Ukuze kuthuthukiswe ukuzinza, ama-ballast akhe amaningi ensimbi atholakala ngaphansi kwe-hydrodynamically eklanywe nge-aluminium foil keel.Kusibani esikhulu.

Ukukhishwa ukuze kuvalwe uhla kungenza ilogi isondele kumafindo angu-8 ngesivinini samafindo angu-16-20.Ngisho nalapho eshaywa umoya onamandla, uhlala eqinile, elinganisela futhi ebikezelwa.
Ngaphansi kwezivunguvungu, indize ngendlela efanele yomoya futhi yakwazi ukuhamba amafindo angu-8-9 nokaputeni onesiqondiso sangempela somoya samafindo angu-16-18.
Iphuzu lokunethezeka le-reef yokuqala lingamafindo angaba ngu-20, kodwa uma kungenankinga ngokuzifaka engcupheni yokuphuza itiye, uzolenga lapho ngokuzethemba, amafindo afika ku-24!
Ngaphansi kwesenzo samandla, injini inamandla ngokwanele ukusunduza lesi sigodlo esilula ukusishayela ku-grill ngesivinini esizinzile sokuhamba samafindo angu-6.
Nakuba abanye abantu bebefaka i-bow thruster yokuzikhethela ukuze isondele eduze kwezinsimbi ezincane, uziphathe kahle futhi waluma ngokushesha.
UMike noCarol Perry bathola u-Olieta ngo-Okthoba 2019 futhi njengamanje bamgcina e-UK, yize behlela ukuthuthela eGreece maduze.
Lapho ebuzwa ukuthi uhambe kanjani kuze kube manje, uMike wathi: “Angikalitholi ithuba elanele lokuhamba naye, kodwa izinga lokwakha libonakala liphakeme.Nokho, umnikazi wangaphambili akazange amnake futhi wachitha isikhathi esiningi.Ukulungiswa kanye nezibuyekezo.Kuze kube manje, kufanele ngifake ama-rigging amasha okugijima nokuma, ngakhe kabusha ama-heaters e-Webasto namaphampu e-bilge, ukulungisa ukuvuza kwamanzi ekhaya (okumangalisayo, isihlungi safakwa ngemva kwepompo, okubangele ukuthi ivinjwe udoti), yenze kabusha wonke ugesi. ukufakwa.Ixhumeke futhi inakekelwe ngokugcwele isistimu yeseyili neyokufaniswa kabusha.
“I- windlass nayo izophuka uma isiqala ukusetshenziswa,” kwengeza uMike.“Injini esetshenziswe amahora angu-950 kuphela manje isidinga ukulungiswa ngokugcwele kuphethroli.
'Ukuthenga kwethu kokuqala okukhulu kwakuyi-cockpit eyenziwe ngokwezifiso.Lapho sihlala naye ngesikhathi sokuvalwa kokuqala, ngafaka nokhaphethi kanye nomatilasi omusha wasentwasahlobo endlini enkulu.
Wabe esechitha iminyaka engu-45 elandelayo emiqhudelwaneni yesikebhe kulo lonke elaseYurophu, eqala ngomjaho Kazwelonke ongunombolo-12, wabe esethuthuka kancane kancane waba umdlalo we-asymmetrical trapezoidal.
Ngawo-2000, wayenesiteki e-Beneteau 321 e-Ionia, kwathi ngo-2011 wathenga iBavaria 38 endaweni efanayo.
UMike waqhubeka: “UCarol, umkami, ungumlingani wami ovamile wokuhamba ngomkhumbi (akayena izisebenzi, ngoba ubaluleke kakhulu kunami).Sivame ukujoyina nomndeni (okuhlanganisa abazukulu nabangane).Uma izivakashi zethu zingenalo ulwazi , Futhi indawo ejabulisayo ikude, sizohamba ngomkhumbi oLwandle i-Ionian.
“Isizathu sokuthi ngikhethe u-Olieta singase sibe nelukuluku lokwazi.Ekupheleni kuka-2018, ngahlangana ne-Dufour 425GL ethengiswayo, futhi ngashaqeka ngomugqa wakhe womkhiqizo.Ukuqhubekela phambili kuMeyi 2019, ngahamba ngomkhumbi e-Ionian Sea futhi ngahlangana nabangane abahamba ngomkhumbi endaweni yami yokudlela eyintandokazi yokudoba.U-Alan, umnikazi we-Dufour 425 GL, unabo.Phakathi nengxoxo, kwatholakala ukuthi u-Allen wayephinde wabamba iqhaza emqhudelwaneni kazwelonke owadutshulwa ama-shots angu-12 ngawo-1970 futhi kwadingeka siqhudelane sodwa.Kamuva waba itilosi eliqeqeshiwe.Ngakho-ke, uma umkhiqizi weziseyili ochwepheshe ekhetha i-Dufour 425 GL, kuwukuqashelwa okuhle kimina.
“Kumanje u-Olieta use-UK, ikhaya lethu eliphakathi kwamagumbi amabili.Kuye ngesimo, sizoyihamba ngomkhumbi siye eGreece ngo-2021 noma ngo-2022. Uhambo lokulethwa olusuka e-Ipswich luya e-Brighton In, ngivele ngahamba ngomkhumbi ngendlela efanele, kodwa nganeliseke kakhulu ngokusebenza kombukiso ngoba wawunokulinganisela futhi usabela.
Kuze kube manje, mina noCarol sibe nethuba elilodwa kuphela lokumkhipha kuleli hlobo.Kwakuyimpelasonto ende eChichester, futhi kwakungekho moya.Sonke sanelisekile ngaye, kodwa sisadinga isikhathi esengeziwe sokujwayela isibalo sakhe esengeziwe.Uma kuqhathaniswa nesifunda sakithi saseBavaria, ngamangala kancane inani lamaphaseji abekwe ngemuva, futhi iBavaria empeleni inejubane elifanayo lokuhamba ngomkhumbi.Ukuba namasondo amabili kwenza kube lula kakhulu ukungena esikhumulweni semikhumbi, ikakhulukazi uma i-Med iboshiwe, futhi kwenza kube lula ngoCarol ukuthi abone enqoleni.”
Lapho ebuzwa ukuthi u-Olieta angathanda yini ukuphila isikhathi eside, uMike wamemeza: “Kakhulu!Besigibele ngesikhathi sokuvalwa.Isakhiwo sakhe sifana kakhulu neBavaria 38 yethu, kodwa isikhala esengeziwe siyenza ibe ntofontofo.Manje sesithathe umhlalaphansi.Yebo, sizoba nohambo olude ngomkhumbi onyakeni noma emibili ezayo.Kepha ngaphambi kokuthi sihambe, sizofaka i-radar, i-AIS, ukushaja kwelanga kanye nezinjini zomoya okungenzeka ukuthi zisebenza.
Unesakhiwo esinamakamelo amathathu anamakhanda amabili, kanye ne-air-conditioning ebuyiselekayo, izibani ze-LED, okhaphethi basebusika, i-bimini ephelele kanye ne-Tek-Dek ku-cockpit.
Sebeneminyaka engu-50 behamba ngomkhumbi.Imikhumbi edlule bekuyi-Westerly Konsort kanye ne-Westerly Vulcan.
“Ngokuyinhloko sasihamba ngomkhumbi njengombhangqwana, ngoba konke ukuhlinzwa endaweni yabagibeli kwakwenza kube lula ukumphatha.Okuwukuphela kwento ayimbuyisela emuva ukuthi akathandi ukuphendukela ku-starboard ngaphansi kwamandla.
"Ubekhululekile kakhulu esikebheni, futhi singakwazi ukuguqula indawo yokulala ephindwe kabili esaluni enkulu."
Ingemuva elibanzi le-Dufour 425 GL lidinga amasondo amabili okuqondisa, okungathatha iminyaka engu-20 ukuxazulula, kodwa i-hardware namasondo okuqondisa e-Dufour deck ajwayelekile futhi ahlolwe kanzima ukuze afanise okokusebenza okuku-Beneteau Oceanis enamasondo amabili kanye. Izikebhe zikaJeanneau Sun Odyssey.akukho mehluko.
Aklanywe kucatshangelwa imakethe yokuqasha, lapho ukusetshenziswa kwamagiya okuqondisa, ama-keel bolt, amaqhude nezinjini kubaluleke kakhulu.
Izinkinga ezimbili engihlangabezane nazo kwi-Dufour 425 GL kwakuyipayipi lethangi lokulungisa indlu yangasese, elawohloka futhi laqala ukubola, futhi lase ligobile kancane edekhini.
Idekhi ekhalayo ingenye yezimpawu ze-Dufours, ngokuvamile akuyona inkinga, kodwa sicela uhlole ukuthi ipulangwe le-teak linamathele yini emphemeni, isihlalo se-cockpit kanye ngezansi kwe-cockpit, ngoba zizoba yisikweletu ngelinye ilanga futhi ukushintshwa kwezindleko eziphezulu kakhulu.
Kungase kudingeke ukuthi usule isistimu yokupholisa bese ubuyisela izindololwane zokukhipha umoya, njengoba zingase zivimbe isikali nosawoti.
Njengamanye amaningi anentengo emaphakathi ngisho nezikebhe zenani eliphezulu, i-Dufour iphinde yafaka ompompi bethusi abashibhile nababi abafakwe nge-nickel.
Zilungiselele ukufaka esikhundleni sazo amapulasitiki angagqwali, i-DZR noma amapulaki ethusi.
Uma kuqhathaniswa namanye ama-yacht anenani elizwakalayo, ngithole izinkinga ezimbalwa nge-keel kanye ne-rudder ku-Dufours, futhi i-hull ezungeze i-keel ingcono ngempela.
Ihluke kakhulu kumakebhe e-GRP angaleso sikhathi, amaningi awo avela ochungechungeni lwe-Folkboat yakudala, ikakhulukazi izikebhe ezimanzi ezinamanzi ajulile.
I-Arpège evulekile futhi ekhanyayo ivulekile, futhi ingaphakathi lesimanje eliklanywe kahle lizoshaqisa abantu maduze.
I-buoyancy ye-beam (hhayi kuphela i-keel esindayo) inikeza ukuzinza, futhi lo mkhuba ubulokhu udumile eBernardo, Chennaau, Bavaria naseDufour kuze kube yilolu suku.
I-Dufour (i-Dufour) ekuqaleni ibingumkhiqizi wabahamba ngesikebhe abashesha abaphakathi nendawo, futhi naphezu kokwehla nokwenyuka okuningana, isasigcinile lesi simo.
Ngaphansi kobunikazi buka-Olivier Poncin, uDufour wathenga i-Gib'Sea ngo-1998 futhi waqhubeka nokusebenzisa uchungechunge lwe-Gib'Sea ngaphansi kwegama elithi Dufour.
Ben Sutcliffe-Davies (Ben Sutcliffe-Davies), Marine Surveyor, Yacht Broker Design and Surveyors Association (YDSA) ilungu
U-Ben Sutcliffe-Davies unesipiliyoni seminyaka engaphezu kwengama-40 embonini yasolwandle.Uyisizinda semikhumbi yesikhathi eside, useneminyaka engaphezu kwengu-20 ehlola umkhumbi, futhi uyilungu eligcwele le-YDSA.
Abantu abaningi bangene emakethe yokuqasha, ngakho-ke ngiphakamisa ukuthi uqonde umlando womkhumbi ngaphambi kokuthenga, ngoba umsebenzi wokuqasha wengeza iminyaka yokuguga.
Zonke izintambo ze-Dufour 425 GL engiziphenyile zine-tin-plated, ehlangabezana nokucaciswa kwe-American futhi inciphisa ukugqwala.
Abanye abakhiqizi batusa ukufaka esikhundleni senjoloba enkulu ye-gasket njalo eminyakeni emihlanu kuya kweyisikhombisa, kanti abanye batusa ukuhlolwa kwesizini.
Naka ukugqwala kanye nezimpawu zamanzi emafutheni, ikakhulukazi uma umkhumbi usetshenziselwa ukuthengisa.
Ngaphenya iDufour 425 GL ngathola ukuthi imbobo ophahleni lwemoto ibibhajwe ewashini laseGenoa.Uma i-vent ihlala ivulekile, lokhu kuthathwa njengenkinga evamile.
Okokugcina, uma uzokwenza i-anchoring eminingi, kunconywa ukuthi ufake i-valve stem guard ngoba i-bow roller iqonde kakhulu.
Izinguqulo zokuphrinta nezedijithali zitholakala nge-Magazines Direct, lapho ungathola khona amadili akamuva.
