Cervetti 44

Optimized for charter

Despite a career disrupted by the takeover of the Dufour brand by Fountaine Pajot, the Dufour 48 has managed to find its place in the sun on the Croatian charter market and even elsewhere... enough to motivate its Italian builder JJL Catamarans to offer a second, slightly smaller model.

The new 44 (now known as the Cervetti 44) features the inverted bows of its predecessor, with a greater angle and, above all, more width. The composite bowsprit is also retained. The nacelle, on the other hand, is proportionally larger. Inverted glazing should prove highly effective in keeping the interior cool. The flybridge design features an XXL sunbathing area and a central helm station, though there looks to be little in the way of protection up there. Advantages: the silhouette is more elegant and windage higher up is slightly reduced. In terms of performance, the upwind sail area/displacement ratio is 8.48 m²/t, which, in theory, suggests a placid temperament. But the powerful 1,075-square foot (100 m²) gennaker will certainly add some welcome horsepower! A world preview is scheduled for the Cannes Yachting Festival.
