The 2023 Dufour 37 is a modern cruising sailboat built on a fiberglass hull with a beam of 12.42 feet. Powered by a 30 horsepower Volvo Penta diesel engine with folding propeller, the boat combines accessible handling with capable performance. The design balances seaworthiness with comfort, making it suitable for both new sailors and experienced cruisers seeking a well-rounded platform.
Below deck, the three-cabin layout provides practical living space. The galley features Corian countertops and is well-equipped for provisioning. A single head serves the interior. An additional water tank option is available under the forward berth. The accommodations reflect a focus on functionality and livability for extended cruising.
The sail plan includes a furling 108% genoa with adjustable lead car tracks, a classic battened mainsail with stack pack and lazy jacks, and a furling asymmetrical Code 0 spinnaker by Elvstrom. The hull features a single performance rudder and non-fouling true bulb keel designed for efficiency.
Electronics and equipment are substantial. Raymarine systems comprise a dual-channel autopilot with remote capability, two 7-inch Axiom chart-plotter displays, an AIS receiver, and VHF radio with remote microphone at the helm. Additional features include a Fusion sound system with cockpit and salon speakers, electric windlass with helm control and chain counter, foldable canvas dodger and bimini with cockpit cushions, integrated stern-mounted Plancha barbecue and sink, and an extra-wide stern door with integrated swim ladder.
