The Dufour 44 is a 44-foot fiberglass sailing yacht designed by Felci Yacht Design, built to U.S. specification with a refined balance of sailing performance and modern comfort. The hull features a sleek form with twin helm stations and a wide beam carried aft, creating a spacious cockpit optimized for sailing and socializing. A large fold-down swim platform provides easy water access, and the shallow draft keel draws just 5 feet 9 inches, making the yacht well-suited for versatile coastal cruising.
Power comes from a 57 horsepower Yanmar saildrive engine, delivering responsive handling and precise maneuverability. The yacht is equipped with a bow thruster for docking assistance. A 6kW Northern Lights generator with soundshield provides onboard power, while a reverse-cycle air conditioning system and watermaker producing 60 liters per hour support extended cruising autonomy.
Below deck, the layout offers three cabins and two heads with a long galley and bright, contemporary interior. The saloon is open and inviting with ample seating and a convertible table. The galley is fully equipped for extended cruising and includes extra refrigeration. Electric winches and upgraded sail handling systems are fitted throughout.
The boat carries a comprehensive electronics package with dual helm displays and AIS, a Fusion audio system with cockpit speakers, and a rigid bimini with integrated solar panels. This configuration delivers strong performance under sail and power with systems designed for extended offshore passages and coastal cruising.
