Optimized handling
The hull is designed to maximize both speed and stability, making it ideal for coastal cruising as well as offshore voyages. Optimized for easy handling with a limited crew, the Dufour 44 sailboat is equipped with dual ergonomic helm consoles, self-tacking jib, and thrusters. Additionally, the deck space between the helm stations and the winches has been enlarged to allow easier maneuvering, and a step to reach the side deck serves dual purpose as a locker for the lines.
