Dufour has unveiled the new Dufour 39, a next-generation cruising yacht aimed at sailors seeking a balance of performance, comfort and adaptability.
The new 11.27-metre yacht has been designed to suit a wide range of sailing styles, from short-handed passages and family cruising to more performance-focused sailing programmes. Designed by Umberto Felci in collaboration with Luca Ardizio, the Dufour 39 features a new hull architecture developed to optimise stability, interior space and sailing performance.
Dufour says the yacht introduces “a new uncompromising approach to the cruising sailboat”, with an emphasis on flexibility and onboard usability.

The yacht offers multiple deck layouts, rigging options and interior configurations, allowing owners to tailor the boat to different sailing needs and lifestyles.
An open cockpit layout, improved deck circulation, and modular living spaces are intended to create what Dufour describes as “a more intuitive, more open, and more adaptable” sailing experience.
