The Dufour 41 from Dufour was awarded the 2023 Design Innovation Award for sailing vessels up to 14 meters in length for its extraordinary innovation. This event, now in its fourth edition, took place during the evening of 22 September 2023, during the 63rd Genoa International Boat Show.

The prize was awarded by an independent jury, made up of national and international experts from different disciplines to guarantee an absolutely transversal vision and evaluation.

The boat was awarded for its bright interiors studied in detail combined with a high-performance hull, all while keeping the distinctive DNA of the French Dufour shipyard intact.

The Dufour 41 is the result of a close collaboration between the renowned Dufour Yachts shipyard and the world-renowned Italian naval architect, Umberto Felci, owner of Felci Yacht, together with Luca Ardizio’s Yacht Design & Interiors.

The Dufour 41 has been redesigned with a new design that has redefined the spaces above deck. Despite its 12.75 meters in length, the cockpit of the Dufour 41 is surprisingly spacious, comparable to that of sailing boats of much larger dimensions.

This cutting-edge approach demonstrates the Dufour shipyard’s commitment to providing extraordinary sailing experiences, taking advantage of the experience and know-how acquired and the experience of its teams made up of very high professional figures, most of them expert sailors passionate about their Work.
