About the Dufour 41 2

Launched in 2023, this latest addition to Dufour's acclaimed cruising lineup represents a sophisticated evolution of French yacht design philosophy. Felci Yacht Design has crafted a hull that strikes an impressive balance between performance and comfort, evident in the boat's SA/Displacement ratio of 201.75 and moderate comfort ratio of 25.39. The fractional sloop rig paired with a fin keel featuring a bulb and spade rudder configuration delivers responsive handling while maintaining the stability demanded by serious cruisers. At 41.83 feet overall with a generous 14.11-foot beam, this yacht offers substantial interior volume without sacrificing sailing characteristics. The infused polyester construction ensures durability while keeping displacement reasonable at 21,347 pounds. Lucas Ardizio's interior design maximizes the available space, creating an environment well-suited for extended coastal cruising or offshore passages. The capsize screening formula of 2.04 indicates good seaworthiness for ocean voyaging, while the theoretical hull speed of 8.12 knots suggests respectable passage-making ability. With 50 horsepower auxiliary power and nearly 9,666 square feet of sail area, this yacht appeals to sailors seeking a modern platform capable of handling diverse sailing conditions from weekend coastal hops to ambitious blue-water adventures.

Performance Ratios
SA/Displacement Sail Area to Displacement ratio measures how much sail power a boat has relative to its weight. Higher values mean more performance and speed.
Under 14 — Heavy cruiser, slow14–18 — Cruising sailboat18–22 — Cruiser/racerOver 22 — Performance racer
 201.75
Ballast/Displacement Ballast to Displacement ratio shows what percentage of the boat's total weight is ballast. Higher values generally mean better initial stability and stiffer sail carrying.
30–35% — Typical cruiser35–45% — Stiff performance boatOver 45% — Racing oriented
 26.85
Displacement/Length Displacement to Length ratio measures how heavy a boat is relative to its waterline length. Lower values mean a lighter, faster boat.
Under 100 — Ultralight racer100–200 — Light cruiser/racer200–300 — Moderate cruiser300–400 — Heavy cruiserOver 400 — Very heavy
 192.01
Comfort Ratio Ted Brewer's Comfort Ratio predicts how comfortable a boat will feel in offshore conditions. Higher values mean a steadier, more comfortable motion in a seaway.
Under 20 — Uncomfortably rough20–30 — Acceptable coastal30–40 — Good offshore comfortOver 40 — Very comfortable offshore
 25.39
Capsize Screening Formula The USHS Capsize Screening Formula estimates offshore capsize risk. Lower is safer — values under 2.0 are considered acceptable for offshore sailing.
Under 2.0 — Safe for offshore2.0–2.2 — Borderline offshoreOver 2.2 — Coastal use recommended
 2.04
Hull Speed Hull Speed is the theoretical maximum speed of a displacement hull, calculated from waterline length. Most cruising sailboats reach this speed in moderate conditions. 8.12 kn
Pounds/Inch Immersion Pounds per Inch Immersion (PPI) tells you how much weight is needed to sink the boat one inch. Useful for calculating how additional gear and stores affect waterline. 1,852.81 pounds/inch
