Launched in 2023, this latest addition to Dufour's acclaimed cruising lineup represents a sophisticated evolution of French yacht design philosophy. Felci Yacht Design has crafted a hull that strikes an impressive balance between performance and comfort, evident in the boat's SA/Displacement ratio of 201.75 and moderate comfort ratio of 25.39. The fractional sloop rig paired with a fin keel featuring a bulb and spade rudder configuration delivers responsive handling while maintaining the stability demanded by serious cruisers. At 41.83 feet overall with a generous 14.11-foot beam, this yacht offers substantial interior volume without sacrificing sailing characteristics. The infused polyester construction ensures durability while keeping displacement reasonable at 21,347 pounds. Lucas Ardizio's interior design maximizes the available space, creating an environment well-suited for extended coastal cruising or offshore passages. The capsize screening formula of 2.04 indicates good seaworthiness for ocean voyaging, while the theoretical hull speed of 8.12 knots suggests respectable passage-making ability. With 50 horsepower auxiliary power and nearly 9,666 square feet of sail area, this yacht appeals to sailors seeking a modern platform capable of handling diverse sailing conditions from weekend coastal hops to ambitious blue-water adventures.
