A 12-metre sailing yacht built for performance.
The perfect balance between sportiness and comfort.
The first model in the range designed by Umberto Felci, enhanced by the vision of designer Luca Ardizio, the Dufour 41 marks a new step in the shipyard’s evolution. Its sleek silhouette, defined sheerline and perfectly integrated coachroof feature the elongated hull windows that have become a Dufour signature.
The hard chine hull delivers generous interior volumes bathed in natural light: with nearly 60% more glazing than others in its class, the Dufour 41 is as enjoyable to live aboard as it is to helm.
Its slender rig and well-balanced sail plan turn every breeze into smooth acceleration. At the helm, the single rudder provides precise and direct feedback. Designed for fast cruising as well as friendly racing, it retains the refined handling that defines Dufour yachts.
Its spacious, open cockpit is equally suited to manoeuvring or relaxing at anchor. After sailing, it becomes a place to share the pleasures of the open sea — replaying the day’s run in the fresh air, salt still on your hands, eyes set on the horizon.

Performance cruising, redefined.

Each version, its own innovations
Each configuration strikes the perfect balance between space and comfort: longitudinal or forward-facing galley, redesigned worktops, and bathrooms with separate showers.
Forward, the hull accommodates either an owner’s suite or two 145 cm wide berths, allowing up to ten guests onboard — a first for a 41-footer.
After the race, comfort.
Life outdoors
The Dufour 41 extends the brand’s philosophy: living outdoors, as close to the elements as possible.
Its XXL cockpit offers exceptional freedom of movement, whether trimming sails or relaxing after a day at sea.
At the dock or at anchor, it becomes a true living space — where the day’s sensations are shared, with the wind still in the air and the sea within reach.
Fast cruising means combining the thrill at the helm with the soothing comfort of a welcoming onboard space.
A balance only the Dufour 41 truly achieves.
Unique design and incomparable spaces
Inside, everything has been designed to combine ergonomics, light and comfort. The galley, storage and living areas are carefully laid out to support life at sea without constraint. Headroom, natural brightness and refined finishes reflect the shipyard’s expertise. Every detail inspires confidence, every space invites you to extend the journey. On board the Dufour 41, balance is both seen and felt.
