2024 Dufour 470

The 2024 Dufour 470 is a 47-foot cruising sailboat built from fiberglass with a beam of 15.58 feet. Powered by a 75-horsepower Volvo Penta diesel engine with folding propeller, she combines modern performance with practical seaworthiness. Her layout offers four cabins and four heads, accommodating families or groups seeking private berths across the boat. The design emphasizes both sailing capability and comfort for extended cruising.

The cockpit incorporates dual composite helm stations with dedicated navigation pods, a central sun pad, and a forward helm placement that keeps the side decks and bow easily accessible. Below deck, accommodations include a full-size refrigerator and freezer, an additional drop-in cooler unit, and electric fresh water flush toilets throughout. An outdoor galley with plancha grill and sink at the retractable swim platform extends living and entertaining space. Canvas includes a dodger, twin-zone folding biminis, and matched cockpit cushions. The boat carries two ocean kayaks with lifeline holders and comes equipped with retractable davits and a hard-bottom tender.

The sailplan features an upgraded offshore Elvström package with a classic mainsail in a lazy bag and an overlapping genoa, paired with four Lewmar electric winches for simplified handling. Navigation and safety systems comprise B&G electronics including AIS, radar, wind and speed instruments, and autopilot with remote control. A Side Power bow thruster provides maneuvering assistance, while an aftermarket inverter supports onboard power needs. Bottom paint and sail drive service were completed in January 2025. The yacht presents in well-maintained condition reflecting careful upkeep during its first year of light use.
