Django 7.70 Buyer's Guide
The Django 7.70 is a 25-foot Marée Haute cruiser designed by Pierre Roland and launched in 2010, built around a twin-keel hull that dries out and beaches in just over a metre of water. For a shopper on the brokerage market she offers a compact, category-A pocket cruiser with a short-handed rig and genuine voyaging pedigree — provided you accept the compromises of a small boat's interior.
Layouts on the Used Market
Most examples follow the standard plan with a raised U-shaped saloon, a forward double V-berth, and a port aft double, sleeping up to six at a push. A minimalist starboard galley with sink and two-burner hob sits opposite a standing chart table, and the heads is tight and often without a door. Some boats carry the enclosed-head version, which drops the chart table for an extra starboard berth and is the layout couples with children tend to prefer. The "+" specification lists two cabins and four berths, but the tested standard boat had no separate cabin doors — so check which arrangement you are looking at. Headroom is 1.70 m and the companionway has no sole boards, leaving the inner hull as the floor.
Equipment and Common Upgrades
A commonly fitted theme on these boats is the short-handed setup: all control lines lead aft to the coach roof so maneuvers run from the cockpit. For power and energy, the standard 13 hp Volvo diesel feeds a 35-litre tank and the boat carries 50 litres of water; a removable bowsprit with code zero gennaker is the headline sail-handling upgrade, and Harken 20ST winches are standard inboard with a second pair aft. Navigation is served by a standing chart table in the standard layout. Comfort items center on the heads — the chemical toilet is usually replaced by a marine toilet, and the enclosed-head conversion gains a door and extra berth.
What to Inspect
The known points to check are mostly about the small-boat reality rather than defects. The heads on the standard boat is cramped and lacked a door in the reviewed example, so confirm what the specific hull offers anchor. Where the companionway meets the hull, no sole boards are fitted and the inner surface takes the wear anchor. The twin keels should be examined for grounding scars given the boat's drying-out design, and the liferaft stowage in the two deck lazarettes should be verified present and serviceable.
Availability and Buyer's Takeaway
These boats turn up in the United Kingdom and Spain. For a buyer, the checklist is short: confirm keel type and grounding history, verify the heads arrangement and whether the enclosed version suits your crew, check the led-aft rig and winches for wear, and validate the diesel and water tankage against your voyaging plans. A Django 7.70 that has dried out cleanly and kept her simple interior intact is a versatile, easily single-handed cruiser with real offshore scope.
