Dufour 39 For Sale

The Dufour 39 offers three distinct personalities within a single 12-metre hull. Owners choose between a minimalist version built around an open transom and fluid circulation, a comfort specification that adds a Skylounge Cockpit with Seaside Kitchen, and a performance variant fitted with six winches and a square-top mainsail for competitive crewed sailing. Few production yachts in this size bracket deliver that breadth of configuration.nnDesigned by Umberto Felci with Luca Ardizio, the 39 carries a contemporary silhouette underscored by purposeful lines. Her chined hull is optimised to reduce wetted surface area, and a single rudder provides the direct helm connection that defines the Dufour sailing experience. Displacement sits at 8,600 kg unladen, striking a balance between carrying capacity for extended cruising and responsive handling under sail.nnBelow deck, two and three cabin layouts adapt the boat to owner priorities. The convertible saloon and longitudinal galley create open, sociable living quarters where natural light streams in through expansive hull glazing. Secondary spaces can transform from storage into a home office or an additional shower cabin, extending the boat’s versatility well beyond her 12-metre footprint.nnConstructed via vacuum infusion with an injection-moulded deck at Dufour’s La Rochelle facility, the 39 carries the structural assurance and group warranty of one of France’s most established sailing yacht builders.
