Experience the balance of speed and comfort with this 2004 Dufour 40. Designed by Umberto Felci, this 12-meter vessel features optimized water lines crafted for fast cruising. The boat is well-maintained by its historical owner and presents in good condition, offering a clean deck layout that ensures simple handling for short-handed sailing.
The interior layout accommodates up to 8 people across three cabins and two bathrooms. The forward cabin includes a private ensuite, while the aft section provides additional sleeping space. A central dinette creates a functional living area, complemented by a practical L-shaped galley equipped with a gimballed oven, a cockpit-style refrigerator, and a double sink. For comfort, the cabin is finished with coconut fiber carpeting in the dinette and features dedicated blackout blinds.
Equipped for navigation, the inventory includes a comprehensive Raymarine electronics suite, comprising a Pathfinder RL 700 C Plus display, radar, and ST60 series instruments. A Quick 1000W electric windlass simplifies anchoring, while the sail plan—featuring a full-batten mainsail, jib, and staysail on a removable forestay—is managed through a Harken winching system and Facnor gear.
This vessel is ideal for sailors who appreciate responsive performance without sacrificing the amenities required for extended trips. Its combination of a proven hull design and a manageable, well-equipped deck makes it a reliable choice for enthusiasts seeking a balanced 12-meter sailing experience.
