The Cannes Yachting Festival and the Genoa Boat Show opened the period of boat shows. Our editorial staff went on board the latest boats launched by the shipyards to get an overview of all the new features. One of these is the new Dufour 37, designed by Felci Yacht Design. Here is our tour on board and a preview of the boat while waiting to try it out.

Dufour 37 – The Evolution
This design is partly an evolution of the previous Dufour 360, but comprehensively rethought a bit in all aspects: the new model will be 20 cm wider, thus having a more comfortable interior and more sail area, but also a larger cockpit and rethought light points. Indeed, on the side, the Dufour 37 has a long continuous window, as well as on the deckhouse. In terms of appendages, the boat will have an L-shaped keel and a single rudder, and the rigging layout, on the other hand, will have 4 winches, with all rigging running in sight and halyard stoppers on the paramare.
As for the interiors, of which the shipyard has not yet unveiled official images, they will be available with 2 or 3 cabins, again with a bathroom that will vary in size, smaller in the 3-cabin version.
