Dufour 40 Performance for Sale (2008)

Maniacally Maintained and Fully Equipped Dufour 40P (2008)

This Dufour 40 Performance underwent a complete refit between 2022 and 2024. Owned by a couple who used it for vacations around the Balearic Islands, it has also been used for occasional club races since 2023, always sailed by a maximum of two people, keeping the equipment and interior in excellent condition.

This 2008 Dufour 40P is equipped with the tall mast and deep keel, two bathrooms, three cabins, and the powerful 55 hp Volvo Penta engine option. With the fully upgraded sails, navigation and rigging equipment, where no expense was spared, this is likely the most unique Dufour 40P on the market.

The refit, conducted from 2022 to 2024, represents a total investment of €87,116.

Price: €105.500 is VAT excl.

  • Ownership History: Current owner is the second owner.
  • Condition: This is the second-generation Dufour 40P and one of the last in its series. The interior, including bathrooms and kitchen, has been barely used and remains in excellent condition. In 2023 and 2024, all equipment—hardware, rigging, furling system, navigation equipment, and sails—was fully upgraded with top-of-the-line brands. No expense was spared.
  • Sails: All upwind and downwind sails were renewed by Elvstrom Sails (EPEX), including A2 spinnaker, A5 gennaker, and Code 0.
  • Inspection: This Dufour 40P is available for inspection in and out of the water in Spain, about 60km from Barcelona.
  • Reason for Sale: The owner’s spouse is unable to sail due to health reasons.
