The latest born of the Performance Signature of Dufour Yachts, the Dufour 45 Performance will make her first appearance at the international boats shows in Autumn 2008: ljmuiden, Cannes, Southampton, Grand Pavois, Genoa, Barcelona… The new Dufour 45 Performance has a modern look, thanks to her sleek hull lines. She has got the typical characteristics of the Dufour Performance Signature, is definitely designed for fast cruising and also offers all the advantages of a comfortable and spacious sailing yacht.
The new Dufour 45 Performance has been developed after a detailed analysis of what historically made the success of the Performance Signature. Indeed, other than just being an upgraded Dufour 44, this new model introduces also a new era in the Performance Signature. Designed by Umberto Felci, internationally known for the performance and evolving style of his yachts, and well known interior designer Patrick Roseo, the Dufour 45 Performance is in essence what Performance Signature is all about: a “contemporary classic”, with values like performance, elegance, and ease of use, with a strong link to the tradition and perceived quality all translated in Dufour´s design:
- Typical and highly recognisable Dufour styling
- Plumb Bow
- Extended water line
- Classic shape coachroof portlights with modern style finish
- Hull portholes in Dufour style
- Uncluttered foredeck and coachroof for safe circulation
The Dufour 45 Performance will be the reference model for all sailors especially for those who already crossed the ocean on the Dufour 44 and who are willing to evolve towards higher contemporary classicism and performance. She´s delivered with three or four cabins in versions CLUB or FASTNET, with the option of Platinum pack equipment (228.000 + 12 000€).
