Positioned in Newport and ready for the 2026 season, this Dufour 41 (Hull #194) represents one of the most well-balanced performance cruisers in her class—combining modern sailing performance with the comfort and layout flexibility today’s owners demand.

Designed by Felci Yacht Design, the Dufour 41 delivers responsive handling under sail with clean deck ergonomics, twin helm stations, and a wide, open cockpit that transitions seamlessly into a spacious swim platform aft.

The interior features Dufour’s Signature ambiance, with generous natural light, clean lines, and a contemporary finish throughout. The saloon and galley are designed for extended cruising, while maintaining an open, social feel.
