The performance of the 382 under motor is outstanding. The 40 hp Volvo diesel engine is extremely responsive, easy to control in reverse and when docking, and came to a stop on a dime! There is little to no pull on the rudder, which makes it less intimidating for smaller, lighter persons at the helm.

Felci’s design ensures the latest innovations in hull form and appendages combined with a rig design layout to hit the mark with this performance cruiser; its purposeful interiors were designed with customer desires in mind. The 382 has immaculate lines and loves to sail on the chine, making for a smooth, sleek passage through the water with little to no wake.

European-styled galley creates great space for food preparation and entertaining below.

Keeping in mind Dufour’s goal to maintain an effortless approach to sailing, the deck stepped, modern rig layout with a very high aspect ratio, full batten mainsail, and self-tacking 90% Dacron jib provides ease as well as maximum sail lift and efficient performance.
