???? General Description
The Dufour 39 CC is a monohull cruising yacht, built in GRP (polyester/fiberglass) by the Dufour Yachts shipyard (France).

It was designed by the naval architects Alain Mortain & Yannis Mavrikios ("CC" version).
The suffix "CC" stands for "Center Cockpit" — this type of layout often allows for optimized interior volume, and an elevated cockpit with visibility and comfort.
It is a cruising sailboat, rather comfortable for sea trips, coastal sailings or longer trips depending on the equipment.

???? ️ Interior design & comfort
The 39 CC typically offers 2 double cabins + a convertible saloon, i.e. beds for 6 to 7 people depending on the layout.
A bathroom, a marine toilet, kitchen (lazarette) and convivial living area are present — making it a boat suitable for coastal or offshore cruising.
The central cockpit is an asset for safety and comfort at sea: better protection from the elements, good layout for maneuvers and life on board.
⚓ Behaviour at sea and use
The Dufour 39 CC is considered safe and stable, well balanced, with good seaworthiness. Even in a normal gîte, it remains comfortable and manageable.
It can be suitable for coastal sailings but also for longer cruises — the comfort, the water and fuel storage capacity, and the interior space make it a good compromise for a small crew or family.
The layout (central cockpit, spacious saloon, double cabins) makes life on board pleasant, even for several days at sea.
✅ For whom / for what use
The Dufour 39 CC is aimed at boaters looking for a versatile sailboat:
for coastal cruises or weekends along the coast,
for outings with family or friends, with good comfort on board,
for "Tour d'Europe / Summer Holidays" ships if the equipment is well maintained.
It combines ease of manoeuvring (single rigging, central cockpit) and affordable life on board, for 4 to 6 people, or even a little more. More information and photos on the website xboat.fr
