DUFOUR 44 PERFORMANCE

I am selling my DUFOUR 44 PERFORMANCE, a performant and comfortable cruising sailboat, built in 2004. This model is particularly appreciated for its elegant design and functionality.

Equipment and Layout

• ROD rigging 2023


• Offshore equipment with EPIRB beacon


• Bimini 2023


• 9-inch GPS from 2024


• 70,000 euros in invoices over two years


• Carbon steering wheel

This cruising sailboat is designed to offer great stability at sea and good performance in a wide range of conditions. It is well-balanced, with a relatively deep keel, allowing for better maneuverability, especially in strong winds. The construction is sturdy and the interior finish is 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 for easy movement on board. The exterior design of this boat 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 a nice headroom and modern layouts, it can comfortably accommodate up to 8 people. The saloon is bright and well arranged, with a functional kitchen. 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 pleasant to steer, and it 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 to the wind 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 of all, it combines elegance and functionality, making it a performant 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 maneuverable.
