Embodying the esteemed Dufour legacy, the Dufour range presents a collection of exquisitely crafted sailing yachts at highly competitive prices. Each vessel features thoughtfully designed interiors, premium materials, and carefully selected deck fittings and navigation tools. The sleek and elegant lines are accentuated by unobstructed side decks, a streamlined coachroof, and an ergonomic cockpit.
Step aboard 'FALCON', a Dufour 40 Performance, which was honored as the 2004 Seattle Boat Show's Boat of the Year. Crafted by sailors for sailors, she combines high-quality construction with impressive amenities and exceptional speed, ensuring she turns heads in any harbor. The interior, adorned in rich African mahogany and teak and holly flooring, offers a cozy V-berth in the forepeak, double aft staterooms, an owner's private head, and a guest head, comfortably accommodating six guests. The L-shaped galley to port features a gimballed stove with an oven, a centerline double sink, and a foot-operated saltwater pump, perfect for long offshore adventures. This yacht is easily sailed by one person or a couple, making it a rare gem on the West Coast.
Designed by Umberto Felci with interiors and deck by Patrick Roseo, the Dufour 40 is a proven offshore performance cruiser, boasting impressive race results in events like the Fastnet, Annapolis to Bermuda, and the North Sea Race, while also offering a comfortable and safe sailing experience for family vacations. All lines lead aft for easy sail handling, and the mainsheet is located at the boom's end with a wide traveler. With a weightless feel, she effortlessly matches wind speeds up to 7-8 knots (SA/D 19.3).
The hull design features short ends and a broad beam aft, enhancing stability and maximizing interior space.
