This one-owner 100% freshwater 2004 Dufour 34 Performance presents a rare opportunity to own one of the most respected performance cruisers ever produced. Lightly used, well maintained, and thoughtfully designed, she is equally at home enjoying a relaxing weekend cruise with family as she is competing around the racecourse.

Designed by renowned naval architect Umberto Felci, the Dufour 34 Performance earned a reputation for combining spirited sailing characteristics with practical accommodations that make extended weekends aboard comfortable and enjoyable. The result is a boat that remains highly sought after more than twenty years after her launch.

Step aboard and youll immediately appreciate the spacious cockpit, efficient deck layout, and quality construction that have made Dufour a favorite among experienced sailors worldwide. The cockpit is large enough to entertain friends at anchor yet arranged to allow efficient sail handling when the competition heats up. The responsive helm and balanced sail plan inspire confidence in a wide range of conditions, from light summer breezes to the stronger winds often found on Lake Ontario.

Below deck, the interior is bright, welcoming, and surprisingly spacious for a 34-footer. Thoughtful design and quality joinery create a comfortable living space that works equally well for a weekend getaway, a family cruise, or an overnight race. Ample storage, practical accommodations, and excellent visibility make time aboard enjoyable whether underway or dockside.

For Great Lakes sailors, the Dufour 34 Performance hits a particularly sweet spot. Her moderate displacement, powerful sail plan, and efficient hull shape allow her to excel in the varied conditions that characterize Lake Ontario sailing. She is quick enough to remain competitive in club racing, responsive enough to make every sail enjoyable, and comfortable enough to encourage longer adventures to destinations throughout the Great Lakes.
