Designed for adventure
The first new Dufour 45 owner, Jean-Marc Lambot, has fallen in love. "I chose the Dufour 45 because she is absolutely magnificent; she is racy and designed for adventure. On the water, she combines performance with speed. I especially like her cockpit, its generous openness makes it a very nice place to be, both at sea and in port. Actually, it's important to be able to see, speak and exchange under all conditions. It really is a sumptuous yacht and she is ideal to inviting friends onboard and share some very stirring times together. An by the way, she is fast, very fast indeed".
