Dufour 44 Performance

DUFOUR 44 PERFORMANCE — 2005 — EQUIPPED FOR LONG VOYAGES · BERTH IN SETE

CAP MED BOAT & YACHT CONSULTING presents this Dufour 44 Performance from 2005, available for viewing in Sete. Designed by Umberto Felci, this fast cruiser measuring 13.45 meters with a 4.25-meter beam combines the seaworthiness of a cruising sailboat with genuine performance potential. Second-hand, it has been maintained and serviced by a professional sailor.

A rare advantage: a berth in Sete is available with the boat — a significant asset for a vessel of this size, and one less concern for the future owner.

The boat has just completed a seven-month trip in Greece, covering approximately 3,010 nautical miles: its operational condition has been confirmed through real navigation over a full season and away from its home port. Maintenance is regular and documented, with invoices available: engine and shaft alignment serviced, last hull cleaning in May 2025, re-fitted shower room in 2025, and rigging reported to be in very good condition. The engine is a Volvo Penta D2-55 with approximately 3,800 hours.

The equipment includes features suited for offshore cruising and onboard living. Power and water autonomy are ensured by a Dessalator 60 L/h watermaker, a hydrogenerator, 400 W of solar panels with an MPPT regulator installed in 2025, and a Starlink connection for staying connected while sailing or at anchor.

Handling is eased by a bow thruster, a remote-controlled electric windlass with 90 meters of 10 mm chain, and two electric winches. The sail wardrobe includes a 125 m² spinnaker and an 80 m² gennaker, enabling full use of the sail plan while reaching.

Additional features include an inflatable with an electric Torqeedo motor and a 12 V snorkeling system with 20 meters of hose, ideal for hull maintenance at anchor or diving.

This seaworthy, comfortable, and fast sailboat, already well equipped, saves the future owner many preparation costs before departure. It is perfectly suited for cruising, traveling, or living aboard, with recent usage history and a dedicated berth already in place.

Available in Sete. Detailed inventory and additional information available upon request. Contact CAP MED Boat & Yacht Consulting to arrange a visit.
