Dufour 48 Sail

Launched in 2018 by Italian builder Cervetti Catamarans, this contemporary catamaran represents a compelling blend of performance and comfort for serious cruising sailors. At nearly 48 feet overall with an unusually long waterline relative to her length, the design maximizes sailing efficiency while providing the stability and space advantages inherent to twin-hull configurations. The Felci Yachts design philosophy shines through in the boat's impressive sail-area-to-displacement ratio of 19.53, indicating strong light-air performance that competitive cruising sailors will appreciate. Her fractional sloop rig provides excellent sail handling characteristics, while the twin keel configuration offers enhanced directional stability and reduced draft for accessing shallow anchorages. Built with modern GRP construction techniques, this catamaran targets sailors seeking extended coastal cruising or offshore passage-making capability. The twin 60-horsepower engines provide reliable auxiliary power and excellent maneuverability in tight quarters or adverse conditions. Her generous beam creates exceptional interior volume and deck space, making her particularly appealing for couples or families planning extended voyages where comfort matters as much as sailing performance. This platform suits sailors transitioning from monohulls who want catamaran advantages without sacrificing sailing characteristics.
