DUFOUR 382
Nothing spoils the joy of sailing - or a secluded anchorage - more than the noise and smell of diesel engines. Installing an Oceanvolt system in our new boat has freed us from that. It's the way of the future, and we've been delighted to work with Oceanvolt to bring electric sailing to Canada.
– Michael Melling and Diana Kolpak, owners of the 2016 Dufour 382 GL
