AN INNOVATIVE COCKPIT

The Dufour 41 boasts a large cockpit with numerous handrails for even greater safety when under way. This very large cockpit is comparable to one you’d see on a much larger yacht.

What are the advantages of a 12-metre sailing yacht?

Choosing a 12-metre sailing boat is a wise option, whether for day sailing or multi-day excursions. With sleeping accommodation in 3 to 4 cabins, the Dufour 41 luxury sailboat offers an ideal compromise between a day-boat and a cruising yacht, combining comfort and ease of handling to give an optimal sailing experience.

The advantages of an over-12-metre sailing yacht

A 12-metre sailing boat offers a good balance between size, comfort and performance. It offers a number of advantages that make it a popular choice among sailing fans:

Optimal space

The space aboard this Luca Ardizio-designed 12-metre yacht, is perfectly optimised to ensure comfort both under way and in port. With a length of 12.75 metres and a beam of 4.3 metres, the Dufour 41 can sleep up to 10 people, depending on the layout chosen.

This sailing yacht of over 12m provides enough space to accommodate friends or an entire family without compromising anyone’s essential privacy. The interior layout is designed to offer both practicality and convenience, with a completely redesigned saloon featuring plenty of storage and comfort areas. A must-have: the 3.3 m long forward cabin has a 1.65 x 2.04 m bed and a separate shower in the heads compartment.

Performance at sea

The seaworthiness of the Dufour 41 is exemplary. Her signature Dufour hull design and taut lines make for smooth, safe sailing and excellent performance, even in less favourable conditions.

What innovations are to be found aboard the Dufour 41?

Design and comfort

Opposite the saloon, the longitudinal galley has been completely redesigned. The 2.4-metre Corian worktop is separated in the middle by a console that increases the work surface while providing a place to rest. There is plenty of practical storage space. The galley even has a double fridge with a front door and there’s also locker, so you’ll have more than enough galley storage when you’re cruising.

The aft cockpit is very spacious, with a table with large leaves that that fold up to easily seat 10 guests. The plancha grill, a Dufour signature, is perfectly integrated into the design and easily accessible from the aft platform for cooking when at anchor.

The two cosy aft cabins each have an en suite bathroom, which is very useful if you’ve chosen to have two double cabins forward.

Simplified sailing

Ease of handling is another of the Dufour 41’s strong points. Thanks to the large volumes on deck and in the cockpit, as well as modern equipment, you can sail this yacht easily, even with a short-handed crew. This includes:

Jefa system steering wheels that are smooth and precise and effortlessly control the course
