2003 Dufour 40 Performance, 69 900 EUR

Remarks :
The Dufour 40 Performance is one of those rare boats that does everything well. Fast enough to race, comfortable enough to cross oceans, and simple enough to sail single-handed - she was designed by Umberto Felci at the peak of his powers and it shows in every tack. This particular boat has lived a full life. She has crossed the Atlantic solo, wintered ashore every season, and been looked after by owners who understood what they had. The result is a vessel that carries her 22 years lightly. Layout 2-cabin version with a heads and separate shower. The forward berth has been enlarged to 220 x 150cm with a custom mattress - noticeably wider than the original factory fit. A dedicated heated foul-weather locker keeps wet gear separate from the living space. The aft storage locker is cavernous. Saloon converts to an additional berth. Webasto diesel heating throughout with insulated ducting, digital timer panel, and optional ventilation mode for warmer climates.
