The Dufour Yachts 41 is a masthead sloop designed by Michel Dufour, built from 1971 to the present, with an LOA of 12.5 meters, a beam of 3.8 meters, a draft of 1.8 meters, and a displacement of 8799 kg. This model, similar to the Sortilege 41, was originally available as a sloop or ketch. Modern iterations, such as those seen at the Miami Boat Show, emphasize beam and deck space, featuring external chain plates and a factory-applied hull wrap, though lacking a dedicated anchor locker.10:12 The Dufour 41's hull geometry avoids sharp chines, instead using a curved transition above the waterline to maximize interior volume.15:26 It offers a three-cabin layout with flexible aft configurations, including options for two heads or a dedicated shower and storage.2:40 The forward cabin benefits from a wider hull section and fuller bow lines, increasing living space.15:26 On deck, the cockpit includes an oversized table, long benches, and helm stations angled at 45 degrees for improved ergonomics.31:21 A signature feature is the integrated cockpit galley and barbecue at the stern, designed for use from the swim platform.3:42 Performance features include a deep rudder and a high-righting-moment bulb, with an optional upgraded sail plan that includes a high-roach mainsail and improved deck hardware.4:53 Euro Sail Yacht offers a "Limited Edition" line of Dufour monohulls with modified keels and bulbs to increase righting moment and upwind performance.9:19 Aboard SEILmagasinet, a Dufour Yachts 41 experienced a rig failure when an intermediate shroud detached in moderate conditions, which the crew stabilized with Dyneema.6:30 The model was among 17 boats tested for European Boat of the Year, and it has been displayed at boat shows including the Genoa Boat Show and Båter i Sjøen.0:04
