What this video covers

The Dufour 41, designed by Umberto Felci, features a hull geometry that avoids sharp chines in favor of a curved transition above the waterline to increase interior volume.1:33 This 41-foot model offers a three-cabin layout with flexible configurations for the aft section, allowing owners to choose between two heads or a dedicated shower and storage compartment.2:34 The forward cabin benefits from a wider hull section and fuller bow lines, providing increased living space.1:23 On deck, the cockpit includes an oversized table and long benches, with the helm stations angled at 45 degrees to improve ergonomics.2:43 A signature feature is the integrated cockpit galley and barbecue located at the stern, designed for use from the swim platform.3:34 Performance features include a deep rudder and a high-righting-moment bulb, with an optional upgraded sail plan that replaces standard Dacron sails with a high-roach mainsail and improved deck hardware, including a coachroof-mounted jib track for tighter sheeting angles.4:17
