It picks up the company’s main features with the hull lines and their inserts, the shape of the portlights and a clear deck plan, to enjoy the boat to the full. The mast is positioned well aft, allowing a 72m² mainsail and a 48m² self-tacking jib to be offered, which will greatly simplify maneuvers. The Dufour 48 offers a large flybridge, two sunbathing areas forward and a functional cockpit, the perfect extension to the saloon. Finally, the new Dufour offers either traditional davits for the dinghy or a hydraulic platform. See it at the Cannes Boat Show in September 2018.
