Hull #259 of the Dufour 41 is a well-equipped 2026 model currently in build at the Dufour shipyard in La Rochelle, France, offering an excellent opportunity to secure a modern performance cruiser with delivery scheduled and U.S. commissioning already in place. Designed for both comfort and capability, the Dufour 41 represents a refined balance of sailing performance, ease of handling, and contemporary onboard living.
Configured in a 3-cabin, 2-head layout, this yacht is ideally suited for private ownership, family cruising, or light charter use. The interior features a bright and functional saloon, a long galley configuration, and well-proportioned cabins that maximize both comfort and storage. The layout provides an ideal blend of livability and practicality for extended time onboard.
On deck, the Dufour 41 offers a spacious cockpit with twin helm stations, excellent visibility, and intuitive sail handling systems. All lines are led aft, and the addition of electric winches and upgraded sailing and cruising packages enhances ease of operation, making the yacht highly manageable for short-handed sailing. The cockpit is equally suited for entertaining, with comfortable seating, a central table, and seamless access to the swim platform.
Powered by a Volvo Penta saildrive engine, with an optional upgrade to 57 HP, Hull #259 delivers smooth and efficient performance under power, along with reliable maneuverability in tight docking situations. Additional factory and dealer-installed options further elevate onboard comfort, including air conditioning, advanced electronics, and upgraded deck equipment.
With delivery planned from the Dufour facility in La Rochelle, Hull #259 presents a compelling opportunity to acquire a new, fully specified yacht built to current standards—without compromise—ready for cruising in U.S. waters.
