Dufour 34 Performance 2006 For Sale

Location: Woodbridge, Suffolk, UK ‘Thistle Dhu’

Year: 2006 Length : 10.28m Beam:  3.48 metres Draft: 1.49 metres

Thistle Dhu is a much loved and well maintained one owner yacht, purchased in 2006.  A six berth Dufour 34 performance, The Umberto Felci design, is category A,  and was awarded the European boat of the year. I selected the 2 cabin and shoal keel options to best suit East coast sailing and providing the option of exploring most of the European canals. It is a very well specified boat from new with many optional extra’s (larger engine, upgraded winches, adjustable genoa lead cars, topping lift & single line reefing, electric windless, cockpit table, spray hood, full electronics with the E120 large chart plotter, Eberspacer heater with 4 outlets, and all the features of the limited edition Arperge Pack). As a two cabin version it provides an optimum balance of space and berths when fully crewed. It has considerable interior storage, an L shaped galley with a large fridge and two sinks, and a full size navigation table. It is a fast cruiser, well able to achieve 6 knots or more even in light winds.  Although I’m not a racing sailor, the boat performance was a key factor in my purchase decision and I have not been disappointed.  The boat is setup for safe single handed sailing, with all control lines led back to cockpit and more recently the new mainsail is fully battened with lazy jacks for ease of use.

Dufour 41, Boat of the Year? Learn More About This Model

The Dufour 41 , which blends performance, elegance, and innovation , is the result of a collaboration between the Dufour teams, interior designer Lucas Ardizio, and naval architect Umberto Felci.

To learn more, let’s revisit a conversation between seasoned sailor Nicolas Bérenger and Sébastien Lucas, Dufour 41 ‘s Project Manager.

A Reimagined Legacy

The Dufour 41 is more than just an addition to the Dufour range ; it’s a thoughtful evolution of its predecessors. “ We started with the previous Dufour range , ” explains Nicolas Bérenger. “ It’s not an entirely new boat, but rather a true product of the brand, with all the Dufour DNA . We aimed to make the boat larger while keeping the same size, widening the hull, and asking the design team to rethink their approach. ”

The result is a boat that fully embodies the tradition and DNA of Dufour while offering significant innovations . This sailboat is designed to provide a broader and more comfortable sailing experience without compromising on marine performance: intuitive sailing. This vision continues and is perpetuated across all models in the range .

An Exceptional Launch

The Dufour 41 made its official debut in February 2023, leaving the shipyard and being launched in March. Its world premiere took place at the Cannes Yachting Festival , a crucial moment where it was subjected to rigorous testing in various sea and wind conditions.

“ We tested the boat in all sea and wind conditions and shared this experience with the entire shipyard team, ” says Sébastien Lucas. “ The reception was very positive . In Cannes , we received nominations in several categories and won our first award at the Genoa Boat Show for design. ”

These awards are not only a testament to the technical success of the Dufour 41 but also to its recognition within the international boating community.

Performance and Comfort: A Perfect Balance

The Dufour 41 stands out for its maritime performance . “ It’s a well-balanced, safe, and easy-to-handle boat, suitable for both crewed and solo sailing, ” says Sébastien Lucas. This sailboat is designed to be accessible while offering top-tier performance. The cockpit design and layout of all equipment are designed for easy and intuitive access , whether you’re an experienced skipper or a beginner.

A particularly memorable moment for the team occurred during tests in Palma de Mallorca . “ We found ourselves in the middle of a J-Class regatta, ” recalls Sébastien Lucas. “ Even though we weren’t in direct competition, it was impressive to see the boat holding its own among these giants of the sea. ”

A Creative Collaboration

The creation of the Dufour 41 is the result of a two-year development process, closely involving all the Dufour teams as well as external collaborators like naval architect Umberto Felci and interior designer Luca Ardizio. Together, they worked to create a boat that embodies the brand’s values while incorporating the innovations that make Dufour strong.

“ It was about preserving the Dufour DNA —a marine and high-performing boat—while associating it with a generous hull, ” explains Sébastien Lucas. The mast positioning, volume distribution, and ease of handling were all carefully studied to optimize performance and comfort.

Luca Ardizio, responsible for interior design, brought his personal touch by balancing simplicity, functionality, and aesthetics. “ The collaboration was very enriching, based on sharing ideas to find the best possible compromise while innovating, ” he says.

A Unique Design

What truly sets the Dufour 41 apart is its unique design. “ The Dufour 41 stands out with its very wide forward hull, inspired by offshore racing boats, while remaining balanced and performant, ” emphasizes Nicolas Bérenger. Additionally, it is the only boat of its size to offer four real cabins , thanks to its optimized hull.

The cockpit, 15% larger than that of the previous model, offers a generous outdoor living space, meeting the expectations of modern sailors in terms of comfort and ergonomics.

Where to See and Test the Dufour 41?

If you want to discover or rediscover the Dufour 41, don’t hesitate to contact your Dufour dealer . They will be happy to assist you in your acquisition project and provide you with all the necessary advice.

The Dufour 41 will join its big brother—the Dufour 44 —in a grand world tour starting this fall. Schedule a visit in Cannes , Southampton , Genoa , La Rochelle , or Annapolis .
