The Dufour 40 is a design by Umberto Felci with the interior and deck designed by Patrick
Roseo. Construction is French. Dufour 40 is a proven offshore performance cruiser with high
placings in races over the years such as Fastnet, Annapolis to Bermuda, North Sea Race. At the
same time, she is a very comfortable, safe and easily handled for family vacations. All lines lead
aft, including the reefing lines, making sail handling very easy. The main sheet is at the end of
the boom with a traveler almost as wide as the boat. She is a very light feeling boat, easily
matching the wind speed up to 7-8 knots. SA/D 19.3.
