XBOAT ref :6264.The owner tells us:I am selling my DUFOUR 40 PERFORMANCE, which I purchased in 2021 and sailed in the Mediterranean before preparing it for a transatlantic crossing in 2024 (Arc Antillais). Now back in mainland France, it is currently in storage on land and is ready to set sail again after some minor cosmetic and electrical work that needs to be done (mast light cable and anchor lights).) .This is a two-cabin, deep-draft version with an enlarged forward cabin bed, a large shower separate from the toilet, and a WEEBASTO forced-air heating system..Her standing rigging was replaced in 2018, and her DCX sails date from 2021.It is self-sufficient in terms of power (4 x 400W solar panels with a VICTRON ENERGY MPPT controller) and is equipped with 3 x 110 Ah service batteries from 2024 and a 90 Ah engine battery.My DUFOUR 40 PERFORMANCE is ready for long-distance cruising with a full suite of onboard electronics (RAYMARINE navigation center, marine-grade PC with a swivel-mounted external monitor and OPEN CPN, 2024 EPIRB, AIS Black Box 800S/N transceiver, FURUNO NX300 Navtex, 6-person TRANSOCEAN 2023 life raft, and a 100m main anchor line...)More details and a tour by our local Xboat agent.The Dufour 40, launched in the early 2000s, embodies the combination of performance and comfort championed by the La Rochelle-based shipyard. As the first model in the new Dufour range, it quickly won over recreational sailors and regatta competitors alike, earning the title of Sailboat of the Year in 2003. Designed by the Franco-Italian duo Umberto Felci (hull) and Patrick Roséo (deck and interior design), this nearly 12-meter monohull appeals to both cruising enthusiasts and racing aficionados alike..
