Boat Description
The Dufour 40e sailboat is a light and fast boat that performs well in various wind and sea conditions. It is easy to sail and handle, with a balanced and responsive helm. It can reach speeds of up to 7.5 knots upwind and over 10 knots downwind in a moderate breeze.
The Dufour 40e sailboat has a choice of three layouts with two or three staterooms and one or two head/shower compartments, depending on the preference and needs of the owner.
The standard layout has three staterooms and one head/shower compartment. The forward stateroom has a double berth, a hanging locker, and a vanity desk. The aft staterooms have double berths and storage lockers. The head/shower compartment is located aft to port, with access from the saloon and the port stateroom.
The optional layouts have two staterooms and either one or two head/shower compartments. The two-stateroom layout with one head/shower compartment has a larger forward stateroom with an en suite head/shower compartment and more storage space. The two-stateroom layout with two head/shower compartments has a smaller forward stateroom with an en suite head/shower compartment and a larger aft stateroom with an en suite head/shower compartment.
