This 2012 Dufour 36 Performance is the ideal blend of speed, comfort, and style — a modern, European design that is a true racer/cruiser. She performs beautifully even on Long Island summer nights with a light breeze and pampers you below deck. Very similar in style to a J-109 at a fraction of the price. She is a unique boat, imported in 2012 from France and represents a rare opportunity to own the boat Sailing Magazine awarded “Best Crossover” when it came out in 2012. We love the spacious open cockpit with dual helms that feels much different than the traditional bathtub cockpit. The upgraded engine is a 40HP Volvo Penta that starts easily and runs quiet. The Dufour 36P is renowned for its balanced helm, responsive handling, and impressive light-wind performance, making it a joy to sail whether you’re trimming for speed or cruising with family. Above deck, the spacious, open cockpit with twin helms provides superb control and visibility while racing, and an inviting social area while at anchor. Below, you’ll find a bright, luxurious interior—beautifully crafted woodwork, comfortable berths, and a practical galley—perfect for weekend getaways or extended cruising. Comparable in spirit and performance to the J/109, this Dufour 36 Performance offers the same exhilarating sailing experience with a more refined cruising layout.
