Elegance and Performance, the Perfect Match
The Dufour 44, the newest model in the range, is a pure expression of the shipyard’s DNA. It’s a sailboat that makes no compromise between performance and comfort.
The Dufour 44 monohull stands out not only for its maneuverability, its handling at the helm, and its ability to glide over waves but also for its comfort both inside and out, its modern design, and its bright interior.
Two Exceptional Sailboats on Display
To accompany the Dufour 44 on its worldwide tour, visitors to the Puglia Boat Show will also find the Dufour 37 and Dufour 41. These two sailboats are proud representatives of the new range, having also earned multiple awards.
