The Dufour 40 is a sail boat from Dufour. Founded in 1964 by Michel Dufour at La Rochelle. It specialises in cruising monohulls from 32 to 61 feet, drawn with more sail area and a finer entry than most of its competitors, and has kept a performance bias throughout its history. The hull measures about 12.3 metres. It sleeps up to 6.
Adriavela lists 4 boats of this model. All of them left the yard in 2007. The hulls here carry 1 to 3 cabins and 2 to 6 berths.
They leave from Capo d'Orlando Marina and Marina Villa Igiea. A 7-day charter starts at €776, which is €110 a day. 3 of them are quoted on request. A monohull of this size is the ordinary choice for a bareboat week: enough boat to sail properly, small enough to berth anywhere.
