The Dufour 40 is one of the most successful sailing yachts Dufour has ever built. Designed by renowned Italian designer Umberto Felci, this 40-footer combines excellent sailing characteristics with the comfort you desire during longer vacations and beautiful sea voyages.

Sailing characteristics:

With a length of approximately 12.3 meters, a width of 3.90 meters and a displacement of approximately 7,800 kg, the Dufour 40 boasts an excellent ratio of weight, sail area and ballast. The design is characterized by a deep keel, a powerful hull shape and a balanced rudder, which allows the boat to run high upwind while steering light and direct.

Key features:

• Design by Felci Yacht Design, known for several ORC and IMS winners.
• Fractional rig with large sail and relatively small headsails for optimal trim control.
• Very good performance in light winds thanks to a large sail area.
• Stable and steady course in strong winds and longer crossings.
• Direct steering feel due to the single balance rudder.
• Suitable for ORC club racing, but also comfortable during family touring.

Comfort on board:

In addition to her sail-technically appealing character, the Dufour 40 offers a surprising amount of living space. Equipped with three cabins and a spacious wet room. The interior is finished in classic mahogany and is characterized by a warm feel and plenty of storage space. The salon is spacious and comfortably accommodates crew and guests on longer voyages.

Typical features:

• 3-cabin layout with 6 to 8 berths.
• 2 wet cells.
