Dufour 44

Dufour 44 of 2006:

Equipped with a Volvo Penta D2 55 HP with only 750 engine hours,

This is a "Cruise Racing" type sailboat that can be single-handed, it is a very good performer both upwind and downwind (Apart from X Yacht and J boats, there are not many faster), it is highly maneuverable, with a very fine helm feel.
The keel is made of lead unlike traditional cruising sailboats, and the mast passing through the keel, which makes it very stiff under sail and highly reactive.
It is a very seaworthy boat, very safe in rough weather,
It is equipped with necessary reinforcements and fittings for a retractable forestay.

The rigging was renewed in June 2021, 2 years ago:

- The Genoa furling system replaced with a new one: FACNOR LS200, identical to the original.
- The forestay and 2 shrouds replaced
- The Lazy Bag and the "Crystal" of the bimini in 2023 are new!
- The cover and Bimini were replaced in October 2017
- The Bow Roll was replaced in May 2016
- The Sail Drive seal was not replaced, it was inspected by the shipyard, which concluded it did not need changing
- The engine maintenance was carried out by a professional mechanic (oil changes / oil filter / impeller replacement),
- The boat is equipped with a folding 3-blade J PROP propeller.
- The genoa is not very old, replaced about 4 years ago, it is a Delta Voiles genoa, the mainsail is a very durable double reef from Ettore Yachting, it could benefit from being put on a roller, but it is in good condition and very efficient.
- Only one owner, purchased new and delivered on May 17, 2007.
