40 Performance

Offering a balanced blend of cruising comfort and regatta-ready performance, this Dufour 40 Performance is currently available in Liguria. Built in 2005, this unit has been under private use since 2009 by its second owner. The vessel presents in excellent condition, supported by consistent annual engine service and antifouling maintenance, with the most recent engine service completed in November 2025. At the heart of its propulsion is a 55hp Volvo Penta D2-55C engine with Sail-Drive transmission and a Maxprop 3-blade folding propeller. The technical upkeep is thorough, featuring the replacement of seacocks and through-hull fittings in 2022, and the Sdrive diaphragm replacement in 2016. Onboard power and independence are supported by solar panels, a wind generator, a watermaker, and a Webasto heating system. The sail inventory is well-suited for varied conditions, including a 2021 full-batten dacron mainsail and matching roller genoa, supplemented by a spinnaker, a 2022 gennaker, and both storm and inner jibs. The deck and rig are fitted with an aluminum mast and boom. Accommodation consists of three cabins and two baths with manual toilets, while the dinette offers additional flexibility for guests. This boat is suitable for those seeking a proven cruiser racer that has been maintained to a high standard for private use. Included in the package is a 2023 Arimar tender with a 2.5hp 4-stroke Mercury outboard motor. Currently listed at a reduced price of 95.000 EUR with VAT paid, this vessel is available for inspection.
