Remarks :
The Dufour 41 is a seaworthy, strong, fast, and comfortable cruising yacht, developed by J&J Design. Her elegant design with low profile coach roof and easy walk-through deck layout make her a very attractive yacht.
Jester is the very popular three cabin version with a linear galley in the spacious saloon. The current owner has spared no expense in keeping her up to the mark. The standing rigging was renewed in 2018, the chartplotter was replaced with a hybrid touch multi-function display in 2016 and the four service batteries were renewed in 2019. There have been many other renewals over the last few years and she is absolutely ready to sail away.
