Dufour 48 Catamaran Debuts at Sanctuary Cove Boatshow – May 19-21

Performance Cruising Yachts is excited to present the Dufour 48 Catamaran for the first time to the Australian market.  Since arriving late last year, the interest in the model has been overwhelming, with a large number of enquiries on the Dufour 48 and also the brand new Cervetti 44, which will be available in both sail and powered versions next year.

The Dufour 48 Catamaran is beautifully constructed, built in Italy by Italian craftsmen and designed by the revered and world-famous Italian naval architect Umberto Felci. The contemporary design ensures a combination of style and performance to make for the perfect cruising catamaran. The cabinetry is of high quality and the layout stylish and ergonomic.  She is fast too, evident in a recent delivery from Sydney to the Gold Coast in 60hrs under sail in preparation for the show.



There are abundant outdoor living spaces for entertaining and laying in the sun.  The sliding galley windows cleverly connect the galley to the lower deck seating area and open up the entire lower deck. The salon is light, bright and airy with plenty of food preparation areas and benchtop space and lots storage cupboards and drawers.

Access to the cabins is via stairs off the salon where you will find entry to four well appointed double cabins all with ensuite.  This model also offers a separate day head, laundry and skippers cabin.  Storage areas are plentiful in all cabins, not to mention a walk-in storage area in the starboard bow that can be used for a multitude of purposes.









What makes the Dufour 48 Catamaran a stand out model is the huge flybridge with stair access from both starboard and port sides that leads to further entertaining areas, sunbathing space and the helm station.  The panoramic views from up high give a commanding position for the helm to easily manage the catamaran.  Such clear visibility is of huge benefit when navigating shallow passageways, bar crossings and isolated atolls.  All control lines for the sails are led back to one central area and trimmed by powered winches.

We look forward to welcoming you aboard at the show and give you a tour of this exceptional model and answer any questions you have on the brand, specification and delivery options.

In the meantime, feel free to contact us now for more information on this beautiful Dufour 48 Catamaran or the exciting new Cervetti 44 SC.

SAVE THE DATE

2022 Virtual Launch of the Elan E6
Live on 14th March

Register NOW to experience the ultimate performance cruiser



The dream team unites to deliver one of the most exciting 47ft yachts on the market.

 

Elan Yachts have joined forces with Pininfarina, Humphreys Yacht Design and Gurit to create the ultimate performance cruiser, combining the very best in shipbuilding technology, naval architecture and industrial design.

Performance Cruising Yachts has a new E6 on order that will be arriving early next year.  Contact Us for details.



Remarkable Design by Pininfarina

Pininfarina is the reason behind the Elan E6’s head-turning looks.  It is, after all, the design powerhouse studio that designed some of Ferrari’s most iconic cars – and more that 600 projects in industrial and transportation design, winning more than 50 awards in the last 10 years.  They are no strangers to the nautical world either, as they are responsible for the Wally 101, Persico F70 and Tango Wallycento yachts among others.

The interior was also designed by Pininfarina and gives the perfect blend of aesthetics and functionality. The creative form is brought alive by the natural oak veneers and enriched with a solid wood finish. Elan also offers okoume furniture that keeps the weight down, while not hindering the boat’s luxurious look and feel. The E6 comes with a fully equipped galley with a front-opening fridge and optional microwave or coffee machine.

Exceptional Nautical Architecture

Famed naval architects,  Humphreys Yacht Design have developed a brand new hull using extensive computational fluid dynamics modelling and analysis to provide the best performance whilst meeting the demanding needs of  the E6. Elan’s E-Line yachts are renowned for their excellent performance in a fresh breeze, especially downwind, but the results of this new-generation hull is also expected to be fast in lighter airs, due to its notably high sail area to displacement ratio.



Structural Engineering Expertise from Gurit

To achieve optimal structural integritity Elan sought cooperation with the composite industry-leaders, Gurit. Their structural engineering expertise gave the Elan team confidence to push the laminate plan even further. The E6 utilizes 3D VAIL process (an advanced version of vacuum infusion lamination), enabling significant weight gains on the composite parts and considerable improvements of the hull’s mechanical properties.

Elan GT6 – Wins 2022 Best Monohull Cruising Boat Award

The extraordinary Elan GT6 offers the perfect balance of speed and power with comfort and luxury. 



The Elan GT6 Wins the 2022 Best Monohull Cruising Boat award given by Sail Magazine in the 40-50ft category.  The sentiment from the panel of expert judges felt the GT6 truly lived up to its striking good looks with above average build quality, superior finish below decks and a deck layout that mixes sail handling convenience with cruising comfort making the GT6 an easy boat to sail short handed. In short, the judges found the GT6 to be “fast and responsive enough to keep racing sailors interested in what’s going on, yet not so intimidating that cruising sailors will shy away from pushing it hard”.

The judges concluded by saying the GT6 is a “sexy looking boat with sexy performance!”
