Would parts for a DF 920 be adaptable to a Contour 30 MKII?

Post by jtower »

I have just accepted a deal to buy a 1995 Contour 30 MKII, which was designed by Cole Beadon.
My research tells me Contour Yachts were also building Dragonfly boats at the time before the company folded.
They sure look a lot alike without the elegance of the DF, but I am wondering how easy DF parts would adapt to the contour.

in quick answer - no

they are not similar at all. Contour made copies of the 800.

A word of advise with your boat, secure your rudder!

I sailed on hull number 1 when it lost it right off the transom of the boat, and last year one that is our yacht club, lost their rudder too. They sink and do not float.
