Dufour 39CC |
Brief details |
Builder |
Dufour Yachts, La Rochelle, France |
The Dufour 39CC is a modern centre-cockpit cruising yacht with a good combination of performance and confort. Like the contemporary "Classic" models from Dufour, she has a very nicely finished interior with lots of varnished wood. She has a fixed windscreen similar to those on Hallberg-Rassys. Also, unlike most other mass-production yachts, lead keels appeared to be standard. |

The Dufour 39CC was designed for Dufour by Mortain and Mavrikios, along with Olivier Poncin, and built from around 1996 to 2000. There appear to have been minor differences betweens model sold to the US market and in Europe. Although the overall length is 39' 4", the length of the hull itself is 38' 0", according to a French Dufour brochure, from which the dimensions quoted here are taken.
The 39CC was available in two interior layouts - the only difference being a choice of a centerline double berth in the aft cabin, or a double off to one side with a single settee/berth opposite. Almost all boats sold appear to have had the latter layout, as is the case in this yacht, probably because this is a better option for use at sea.
The hull appears similar to, but not quite identical to, the Dufour 38 Classic, which is the aft cockpit yacht sold concurrently. The yacht shown hers is fitted
with in-mast furling, again the usual choice for buyers of this model and the standard spec for this design. Two keels were offered, a 6'2 deep lead fin (as shown on the plan at left) and a 4'11" winged lead keel, as fitted to the example in the photos here. |
