Dufour 40 Performance

Performance-Cruiser built in 2005
Fast, safe and comfortable cruiser built by the French production yard Dufour Yachts in La Rochelle. The low freeboard, the flat coachhouse profile and the tidy deck make the yacht a spectacular eye-catcher. The modern lines from the drawing board of Italian designer Umberto Felci give the Dufour 405 Grand Large good performance while creating an amazing volume at the same time. Despite her sporty sailing characteristics, the Dufour 40 Performance is a good-natured touring yacht that can be sailed safely by a small crew. 3 cabin layout with forward owner's cabin, two heads and mahogany interior with laminated floorboards.

This Dufour 40 Performance is a well maintained, well equipped first hand owner's vessel (never sailed on charter). L-shaped short keel with a draft of approx. 1.65 m. Larger engine VOLVO PENTA MD2040, teak deck, retractable bow thruster and fuel cell. The Moabi mahogany interior was brightened up by partial foiling in white wood look and additional indirect ambient lighting was installed. The yacht came to the Baltic Sea in 2005 as a new build from the shipyard in La Rochelle and has been in indoor storage every winter since then. Regular care and ongoing technical maintenance. The Dufour 40 Performance is offered ready to sail with her complete inventory and can be taken over at short notice.
