DUFOUR 45 E PERFORMANCE Year 2008
Based on Umberto Felci designs and an Inside layout by Patrick Roseo, the Dufour 45 E Performance is both classy and performant; sleek roof lines, free deck, wide and secure cockpit. The high standards deck fittings added to a smart ergonomics allows to sail with a short handed crew and even solo. If the outside looks like a smart racer, the inside displays all the modern and self sufficient cruisers advantages; a very nice owner's cabin plus two large double-bed cabins, a convertible saloon and a huge fridge. A lot of things replaced or added in 2013 as a complete set of hydranet sails, spinnaker deck fitting, electronics, security... Made to sail far and fast.
Owner's words
I bought this ship in Brittany in 2011 where she was used for coastal cruises. After I practiced a bit and get her prepared and fit for my projects of Mediterranean cruises and Atlantic loop, I had a lot of fun sailing so fast and comfortable, and always felt secure. The ship was perfectly maintained and she is really ready to go and sail again.
