Overview
About this vessel
This fine yacht presents a rare opportunity for the savvy buyer to secure an 'as new' Dufour 61—the flagship sailing model from the renowned Dufour shipyard in La Rochelle, France.
The 2023 Dufour 61 is not just a yacht—it's a marvel of design, craftsmanship, and performance. Whether you're a seasoned sailor or a first-time adventurer, this BlueWater beauty promises an extraordinary journey.
The award-winning Dufour 61 is designed to deliver instinctive and exciting short-handed sailing with a self-tacking set up and electric headsail furling, in-mast mainsail furling supported by four large Lewmar electric winches. Oversized bow and stern thrusters ensure confident and safe docking in all conditions.
Constructed to ensure robustness and seaworthiness for ocean passage making, the bulwark is directly integrated in the hull, while the coach roof is designed to leave room for a broad foredeck. All lines lead aft via hidden tunnels contributing to an uncluttered sleek elegant look with enhanced beauty, safety, comfort and space.
Aft, the cockpit and twin helm-stations are well sheltered with well-designed sturdy dual bimini enclosures that provide excellent shelter from the elements without sacrificing visibility.
The interior is bathed in natural light from large ceiling glass panels and side windows. The spacious saloon features custom soft carpeting and a full beam galley configuration, fully equipped to satisfy the discerning chef with gimbal mounted four burner gas stove and oven, microwave oven, large refrigerator, table top ice box, wine cooler, kitchen sink with salt and fresh water rinse.
Living quarters feature three spacious ensuite cabins plus a separate bow captain/crew quarters with toilet.
This Dufour 61 is offered for reluctant sale due to a change of circumnavigation plans.
