Pre-owned Dufour 56 (2021) – Cat & Go La Rochelle

Discover this Dufour 56 (2021) pre-owned sailing yacht, offered by Cat & Go in La Rochelle, France. This large cruising yacht embodies Dufour’s renowned expertise, combining elegance, powerful sailing performance and premium comfort.

Designed for long-distance cruising, it offers impressive living spaces, easy movement throughout the yacht and an extensive equipment specification. A rare opportunity to acquire a recent, exceptionally well-equipped sailing yacht.

A spacious and elegant bluewater cruising yacht

In this 3-cabin / 3-head configuration, complemented by a separate skipper’s cabin, the layout has been designed to provide maximum comfort and privacy on board. Each cabin benefits from electric toilets and black water holding tanks, making the yacht particularly well suited to extended cruising.

The Boston interior combines teak, Ash Concrete Corian and grey Rabbani fabrics, creating a contemporary yet welcoming atmosphere. Beige carpeting throughout the saloon and cabins further enhances the feeling of comfort.

The convertible saloon with an electrically operated pedestal table provides additional flexibility in the main living area. The galley is particularly well equipped for extended cruising, with a refrigerator, freezer, 220 V microwave and electric seawater pump at the sink. An espresso coffee machine completes the equipment for additional comfort at anchor.

The yacht also features a 100 L/h watermaker, generator, reversible air conditioning with dehumidifier, and a 220 V electrical system with battery charger and additional batteries. Together, these systems provide a high level of self-sufficiency for extended cruising.

Spacious cockpit and genuine outdoor living area

The Dufour 56 cockpit has been designed as a true outdoor living space. Natural teak benches and aft seating, combined with outdoor cushions, create a welcoming area in which to relax and enjoy time at anchor.

The cockpit table incorporates a stainless-steel refrigerator, ideal for outdoor dining. At the stern, Dufour’s signature plancha grill with hot and cold water sink makes it possible to prepare meals directly in the cockpit.

The cockpit also features an integrated sunbed, hot and cold deck shower, and full teak decking throughout the cockpit and aft platform.

Protection from the elements is provided by a companionway sprayhood with handrail and a Dark Smoke bimini, ensuring greater comfort both underway and at anchor.

Performance rig and easy sail handling

The deck layout has been designed for efficient sailing with a short-handed crew. Sail controls are grouped around the helm stations, with a German mainsheet system, T55 winches and coachroof winches, including one electric winch.

The yacht is equipped with:

• Full-batten mainsail with lazy bag
• Self-tacking jib
• Delta Voile Code 0
• Offshore sails
• Adjustable hydraulic backstay
• Rigid boom vang

This sail plan provides an excellent balance of performance and ease of handling, whether for fast cruising or more demanding offshore passages. The feathering propeller also helps reduce drag and optimise performance under sail.

Modern navigation and comprehensive electronics

The yacht features a comprehensive Raymarine electronics package, with AXIOM 12 PRO multifunction displays at both the port and starboard helm stations.

The system includes:

• Raymarine Evolution autopilot
• Log, speed and wind instruments
• Ray60 VHF with remote handset
• AIS 700 transceiver
• Quantum 18″ digital radar
• Wireless SmartController
• Pepwave 4G router

Together, these systems provide accurate and comfortable navigation, even on extended offshore passages.

Easy manoeuvring and premium equipment

The yacht benefits from an extensive deck equipment specification designed to make manoeuvring and life on board easier:

• Retractable bow thruster with remote control
• 1600 W electric windlass with dual controls and chain counter
• Anchor locker washdown system with seawater pump
• Stainless-steel bow protection
