A LEVEL OF PERFORMANCE AND COMFORT NEVER ACHIEVED BEFORE...

o Nominated for Cruising World Boat of the Year 2004
o Named one of the "Best Boats" for 2004 by Sail Magazine

Like the mythical Arpège, the new DUFOUR 44, the 3rd in the New Dufour Series, will claim its place in the history of sailing. Years ahead of its time, DUFOUR YACHTS has produced a yacht with a level of performance and comfort never achieved before. To meet this objective, Dufour has committed considerable resources to the use of advanced and proven technologies.

o Vacuum bagged lay-up of the hull in a PVC/Glass/Kevlar sandwich guaranteeing absolute rigidity and weight savings.

o The cored and vacuum bagged deck is one more step in insuring the strength and integrity of Dufour construction.

These two technologies, which optimize weight distribution and the center of gravity, make the DUFOUR 44 a fast boat on all points of sailing.

Improved stiffness under sail, gentle passage through the waves, very seakindly, excellent ergonomics of the cockpit and deck.
