Dufour 41

General Information about Dufour 41

The Dufour 41 is a comfortable cruiser sailboat, 40 feet in length. Competing with popular models like the Bavaria Cruiser 41, Bavaria C42, Hanse 410, Sun Odyssey 410, Elan Impression 40.1, and Oceanis 40.1, the Dufour 41 stands out for its focus on comfort and equipment for extended stays at sea. Modern 40 ft sailboats typically feature conveniences like refrigerators and grills in the cockpit, and increasingly, generators and air conditioning systems.

Dufour 41 Cockpit

The cockpit is equipped with a swim platform, spacious seating, and dual steering wheels. The cockpit table includes a navigation device, while the high boom placement allows for a comfortable bimini. A unique feature is the genoa sheet system routed through the bench backrest. The throttle lever is positioned on the right side of the cockpit. The walkways to the bow are wide, though the shrouds cross the paths, requiring extra caution. Visibility from the skippers position to the bow is excellent.

Interior and Salon

The Dufour 41 salon offers a cozy atmosphere with ambient lighting. The spacious galley on the port side includes two refrigerators (upright and horizontal) and a freezer. To starboard, there is a U-shaped seating area with a table and an additional bench. While the salon accommodates six people comfortably, the control panels behind the bench may be less accessible. The absence of a classic skippers table might reduce practicality.

Cabins

The cabins feature spacious beds and wardrobes, with sliding doors in the forward cabin adding privacy. Models with four cabins have slightly smaller beds in the forward cabins.

Heads
Available configurations include two or three heads. The third head reduces the salon's space, while the two-head setup integrates them into the salon, which might not be ideal for some users.

Who is the Dufour 41 Ideal For?

This sailboat is recommended for:

• Two or three families with children,
• Three couples or six people for classic charters,
• Eight people for weekend rentals.
