The Dufour Yachts 48 is tested in Vålen in 11–12 meters per second of wind, reaching a top logged speed of 9.7 knots.8:23 The boat is sailed with a reefed mainsail and a self-tacking jib, and Thomas Nilsson notes the self-tacker opens too much at the top in these conditions — a barber hauler is recommended to close the leech.2:02 Upwind, the boat makes 7.5 knots; steering is described as neutral and direct, though the helm seat sits too low, leaving the helmsman wet.1:53 The boat carries no backstay, which limits fine-tuning of the headsail.9:29 Under engine at 2,200 rpm the boat makes 7.5 knots at a comfortable noise level; top motor speed reaches 9 knots.8:57 Interior layout offers three to five cabins depending on configuration; this test boat carries three.4:13 The large U-shaped galley to port features deep drawers and an oversized refrigerator.4:13 A notable construction concern: unlacquered fiberglass edges in the bilge and under the cockpit will absorb moisture if a leak develops, and Nilsson recommends sealing them immediately after purchase.6:37 Starting price is seven million Norwegian kroner.0:44
