The new Umberto Felci & Patrick Roseo designed flagship of the Dufour fleet offers, besides supreme sailing performances, excellent comfort in her every part. In spite of the size and perhaps aided by a retractable bow thruster, she is easy manageable by only two-member crew. They are helped by the harmoniously designed deck and well-dimensioned and intelligibly arranged deck equipment in which especially salient are very original and unique aft deck, bow sprit, cunning transom revealing a great volume for dinghy, uncluttered deck with large side decks, very elegant and dynamic roof (discreet and exceptionally flat), all manoeuvres lead to the cockpit under deck for more comfort and safety and last but not least, the double steering wheel system.

Zephyr is intended for long blue-water cruises, as well as dynamic performance sailing with a deep keel, folding prop, a tall Sparcraft Performance mast, Facnor racing-inspired new range FX Furlers and Elvstrom Sobstad designed Contender sandwich-laminated sails for increased durability, manageability and performance.
