Born from the pencil of the proven Felci/Roseo pair, this 48-footer combines a hull with good sailing performance with comfortable interiors that make good use of available volumes. The water lines denote thin bow entries that increase in volume due to a flex positioned slightly further aft that provides a smooth transition over the wave. The maximum beam, centrally located, helps maintain a balanced trim even under skidding.
COVER
The deck plan presents a clean and rational layout; the distinctive element from which the main features of this Dufour derive is its short, low deckhouse, which allows excellent visibility from the wheels and equally good circulation, both from stern to bow and from broadside to broadside. Also contributing to this are the 65-cm-wide, well-cleared walkways. The cockpit with fixed table capable of 8 seats ensures crew protection by the canvas dodger. Maneuvers, all of which are sent back to the cockpit, are designed for small-crew sailing.
INTERIOR
Spaciousness at the highest level in the category with interiors designed by Roseo, who managed to define an excellent room layout, with 3 cabins and 3 bathrooms. The horseshoe-shaped galley has numerous useful spaces, and the chartroom, arranged by broadside, has a large work surface with a compass stool. The dinette consists of dining table with horseshoe sofa and two swivel armchairs. On the left broadside is a living area with a 3-seater sofa. In the bow is the master cabin with a huge bed with direct access to the bathroom.
