Dufour 41 For Sale

The Dufour 41 redefines performance cruising at 12.75 metres with a hull designed to deliver speed, stability and comfort in equal measure. Available as a conventional diesel or Smart Electric hybrid, she is one of the first production sailing yachts in her class to offer zero-emission coastal motoring through Dufour’s proprietary ODSea+ electric drive system, pairing lithium batteries with hydrogeneration.nnNaval architecture by Felci Yacht Design gives the 41 a hull form that tracks cleanly through building seas and accelerates predictably as the breeze fills in. At 45 cv standard power, she motors efficiently in light conditions, while a sail plan sized for the displacement ensures she performs across a wide wind range without overwhelming a short-handed crew.nnThe interior takes the Dufour philosophy of light and volume further than earlier 40-footers. Two and three cabin configurations centre on an open-plan saloon where the galley, dining and chart area merge into a single, functional living space. The owner’s cabin forward benefits from a full-width layout with standing headroom and a dedicated en-suite, while hull windows along the waterline bring the sea into every cabin.nnOn deck, twin helm stations, self-tacking jib options and a clear side-deck layout make the 41 genuinely manageable for a couple while remaining sociable enough for a full Cat A complement of ten.
