The Dufour 40e is the perfect performance cruiser...laid out on deck for long distance and buoy racing or simply fast cruising...comfortable below for those weekends aboard...the perfect dual purpose boat.  And this Dufour 40e has all the bells and whistles including the upgraded 54hp Yanmar saildrive engine with three-blade folding prop, extensive sail inventory, symmetric and asymmetric spinnaker set ups, retractable bow thruster, air conditioning with reverse cycle heat and much more.   

The target set for naval architect Umberto Felci and the Dufour Yachts Design Office was to come up with something even better than the Dufour 40. What a challenge! And they more than came up with the goods! Its many qualities speak for themselves: finesse, precision, exciting sailing. Take a look at: cruising/racing deck layout, suitable for sailing with a full or reduced crew, out on the open ocean or around the buoys; below decks, the refinement and quality of Dufour Yachts’ interiors.
