DF 25 parts
I didn't see a DF 25 forum, so I guess this is the closest match.
I am considering buying a 1990 contour built DF 25, and was wondering about the availabilty of parts for this boat should the need arise(I recall reading somewhere in this forum that rudders could be very difficult to replace). Is it completely interchangeable with the quorning built DF 25's as far as parts and specs go?
Also any impressions on the quality and longevity of these canadian built DF's, as well as what a good price would be?
Thanks, Dan T.

Dan;
As a past 25 owner, I never had a problem finding parts. I even have a left over spare rudder somewhere in my garage!
The majority of the parts you can get at any good marine store. If you are talking custom parts, cross beams and hulls, that may take some doing.
The more common big ticket item parts are sails, are custom made from any sail maker, tramps are made by Sunrise, rigging, any rigger can make it.
Good luck and welcome aboard!

I would recommend it. It was our first tri also, coming from Hobies.
We also have three kids. It was never a problem sleeping all for the weekend.
Easy boat to single hand . Plenty of room on the tramps for all.
It would be a great starter boat.
If you have any questions drop me an email and I'll give you my phone number.
