Designed by Valentijn, the architect behind the legendary France 3, this 1981 Dufour 4800 represents a distinct era of performance-oriented naval architecture. Built in fiberglass, this 10.5-meter vessel is recognized for its solid hull construction and its capability to maintain speed, particularly when sailing upwind. This specific unit has undergone a total internal and external refit, ensuring the vessel maintains its structural integrity while modernizing its utility.
The layout is optimized for functionality, featuring two private cabins and a single head located forward. The living space includes a spacious, convertible saloon, providing an accommodation capacity for up to eight people. The galley is positioned opposite the navigation station, creating an efficient workflow for those spending time at sea.
Propulsion is provided by a revised Volvo Penta MD11C diesel engine. The sail inventory, including main, jib, and spinnaker, is reported to be in excellent condition, complemented by newly installed wind instrumentation. This combination of a serviced engine and updated sailing gear makes this a highly capable cruiser for its class.
This Dufour 4800 is available in Italy with VAT paid. For further information or to schedule an inspection at its current location, please contact our brokerage office directly.
