2024 Dufour 44

The Dufour 44 is a modern cruising sailboat built in fiberglass with a three-cabin, two-head layout finished in light oak. The deck carries full-batten mainsail with continuous lazy jacks and a self-tacking foresail, both in Dacron. Control systems include two sheet winches with organizers and stoppers, a rigid vang, electric winch for the mainsheet halyard, and a single-line reefing system accessed from the cockpit. Navigation and safety equipment comprises dual Triton 2 multifunction displays, NAC3 autopilot, V20S VHF, remote-controlled 1000W anchor windlass with tunnel bow thruster, and a 20kg anchor with 30 meters of chain plus 40 meters of line. Additional hardware includes lazy bag, sprayhood with grab rails, full bimini, six fenders, three mooring lines, and a second water tank forward.

Below decks, the oak interior provides sleeping and living spaces across the three cabins with two separate heads. The saloon accommodates the galley and main living area, with the main cabin aft accessed via two additional cabin portholes in the cockpit for natural light and ventilation.

Power comes from a 57-horsepower Yanmar diesel with saildrive and tunnel thruster. Electrical systems include 2000-watt battery charger and inverter. Onboard amenities include an external barbecue and sink mounted on the aft seat platform. The boat reaches a cruising speed of 9 knots, with a maximum speed of 7 knots under sail.
