The second set of searches provided good details for the interior layout.

  • Accommodations and Layout:
    • Available in 3, 4, or 5 cabin layouts.
    • Up to 4 heads.
    • Front or side galley options.
    • "Spacious and comfortable interior layout, accommodating a significant number of guests."
    • "Bags of space below."
    • "Modern interior spaces."
    • Dufour's interior layouts are described as "very special, deriving from more classical approaches." 10 from previous search, confirmed by snippets about "iconic sailing boat" in.
  • Owner's Perspectives:
    • Still mostly general praise: "praised for its performance and comfortable sailing experience."
    • "Owner's Stories" and "Testimonials" are mentioned but no specific common problems are detailed in the snippets. I should be cautious about this section and keep it general, focusing on confirmed strengths, or perhaps combine it with the sailing performance if no specific weaknesses are identified. I will integrate the positive owner feedback into the "Sailing Performance" and "Accommodations" sections, and likely omit a standalone "Owner's Perspectives" section unless I can find more concrete pros and cons.

I have enough information to write the article now. I will ensure to cite appropriately.
