This cruising sailboat is designed to offer good stability at sea and solid performance in a wide range of conditions. It is well balanced, with a relatively deep keel, allowing better maneuverability, especially in strong winds. The construction is solid and the interior finish is of high quality.

Design and Construction

The cockpit is spacious, with easy access to all controls. It is well designed to provide comfort and safety, with fairly wide benches and a cockpit that allows easy movement on board. The exterior design of this boat clearly reflects the clean and modern lines characteristic of Dufour.

Interior

The interior of the Dufour 44 is one of the major assets of this model. With good headroom and modern fittings, it can comfortably accommodate up to 8 people. The saloon is bright and well arranged, with a functional galley. The cabins are spacious, and the bathroom, although narrow, remains practical and well equipped.

Performance

In terms of performance, the Dufour 44 is a good compromise between comfort and sportiness. This sailboat is pleasant to helm and responds well to the wind. Its speed is not the fastest among cruising sailboats, but it remains stable and reassuring at sea. The Dufour 44 can hold quite close wind angles and, with an experienced crew, it can perform well over long distances.

Why is this Dufour 44 interesting to buy?

The Dufour 44 PERFORMANCE is interesting to buy for several reasons. First, it combines elegance and functionality, making it a high-performance and comfortable cruising sailboat. Moreover, it has been well maintained with recent and high-quality equipment, such as the ROD rigging 2023 and the 9-inch GPS from 2024. Finally, its spacious and modern interior design, as well as its good performance at sea, make it an ideal choice for sailors looking for a boat that is both spacious and easy to handle.
