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

Design and Construction

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

Interior

The interior of the Dufour 44 is a major asset of this model. With good headroom and modern layouts, it can comfortably accommodate up to 8 people. The salon 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 strikes a good balance between comfort and sportiness. This sailboat is enjoyable 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 fairly close-hauled courses and, with an experienced crew, it can perform over long distances.

Why is this Dufour 44 an attractive purchase?

The Dufour 44 PERFORMANCE is worth considering for several reasons. First, it combines elegance and functionality, making it a high-performance and comfortable cruising boat. Additionally, it has been well maintained with recent, high-quality equipment such as the ROD rigging in 2023 and the 2024 9-inch GPS.
