Dufour 39: cruising without compromise

Written by

Dufour introduces the Dufour 39, a 37foot next-generation cruising sailboat designed to balance performance, comfort, and modularity. Built for short-handed sailing, family cruising, and performance use, it offers a smooth, intuitive sailing experience with strong outdoor integration.

Designed by Umberto Felci with Luca Ardizio, the Dufour 39 features a new hull optimised for stability, interior volume, and sailing performance. Its chine hull increases living space while maintaining efficiency, and a single rudder ensures precise handling and manoeuvrability.

The yacht adapts to multiple sailing styles, from easy handling setups (self-tacking jib, furling mainsail) to performance configurations (genoa, square-top mainsail).

An open “Skylounge” cockpit integrates sailing, movement, and relaxation. Features include twin aft helms, modular layouts, an outdoor galley, a swim platform, and flexible seating arrangements.

The interior maximises natural light and connection to the outdoors. Available in two or three cabins, it offers modular layouts including optional workspace, storage, and extended-living solutions.
