2004 Dufour 40 Performance

The Dufour 40 Performance is a 40-foot sailing yacht known for its balanced design combining speed, comfort, and seaworthiness. The hull is fiberglass, and she is powered by a single 40 horsepower Volvo Penta diesel engine. Her beam of nearly 13 feet provides a stable platform both under sail and at anchor.

Below deck, the interior features warm mahogany joinery and plentiful natural light. The layout includes two cabins and one head, with a galley and saloon configured for cruising. The cockpit is spacious and well laid out for efficient sail handling, supported by quality deck hardware and a design that balances safety with performance under sail.

This example has been maintained as a family cruiser throughout her ownership, with consistent upkeep over the years.
