About the DUFOUR 39 CC
The Dufour 39 CC is a performance-oriented cruising sloop designed by Mortain & Mavrikios and built by Dufour (FRA) in 1996. With a displacement of 15609.0 lb and a D/L ratio of 217.72, it balances speed with comfort, though the exact number of hulls built is unknown.
- Best for:
- This boat suits coastal cruisers and active sailors who prioritize sailing performance and interior comfort over heavy offshore provisioning. Its moderate displacement and SA/D ratio of 18.82 make it well-suited for weekend getaways and short-to-medium range passages.
- Bluewater capability:
- With a capsize ratio of 2.02 and a comfort ratio of 24.33, the boat is capable of offshore passages but is primarily designed for coastal and nearshore cruising rather than extreme bluewater expeditions.
- Comparables:
- Comparable boats include the Beneteau 38 and Jeanneau 38.9, which share similar production eras and performance-focused cruising roles. These models offer similar beam and displacement characteristics, appealing to buyers seeking a fast, comfortable 38-40ft package.
