Owner's comments
Description of the DUFOUR 40 PERFORMANCE
The owner tells us:
I am selling my DUFOUR 40 PERFORMANCE purchased in 2021 with which I sailed in the Mediterranean before preparing it for a transatlantic in 2024 (Arc Antilles). Back in Metropolitan France, it is currently stored on land and is ready to go again after some cosmetic and electrical work to be planned (mast light cable and mooring lights).
It is a 2-cabin version with a deep draft, an enlarged forward cabin bed, a large shower separate from the toilet, and a WEBASTO air heating system.
Its standing rigging was changed in 2018 and its DCX sails date from 2021.
It is energy autonomous (4 x 400W solar panels with VICTRON ENERGY MPPT regulator) and is equipped with 3 x 110 Ah service batteries from 2024 and a 90 Ah engine battery.
My DUFOUR 40 PERFORMANCE is prepared for long-distance cruising with complete onboard electronics (navigation center RAYMARINE, marinized PC with swivel axis remote screen and OPEN CPN, 2024 EPIRB beacon, AIS Black Box 800S/N transmitter/receiver, FURUNO NX300 NAVTEX, TRANSOCEAN 6-person 2023 liferaft, 100m main mooring...)
