boat hire in Pula · Dufour — 44 (2004)

Do you want a true sailing adventure without giving up the comfort while sailing with friends and family? Our Dufour 44 Victoria I Sailing Yacht is the right yacht for you. SPEED The slender and stabile hull combined with full batten high aspect ratio mainsail, and a folding prop result in a top performance boat in both light breezes and more windy conditions. Victoria I provides a great sailing pleasure and control of the boat – your sailing holiday will be indeed - sailing. COMFORT Based on a standard yacht model, Victoria I was professionally upgraded and personally refitted to provide a stream-lined and fun sailing experience for its crew. Priorities in the refit included increasing speed, easing use, and providing true comfort on board. • The Mainsheet was moved forward to allow sailing in the shade of a large bimini and can be controlled by the crew in the pit or by the skipper at the helm. • Twin steering wheels enable easy movement by removing the obstacle of a large central wheel, which offers a more spacious and easy to use cockpit. • A large cockpit table with an integrated chart plotter, 12V charging station, and storage guarantee full comfort in performance sailing conditions as well as relaxed evening dining on board. • An integrated bowsprit simplifies sailing with a gennaker, while making it easy to step between the pier and the boat. The extended bowsprit also makes anchoring easier. • A 2.7m dinghy can be transom suspended in a moment for more speed, safety and sailing in pure silence. • Solar panels ensure non stop charging of upgraded board batteries. These together with an inverter supply power to the electric toilets and fans inside the cabins. • An upgraded water tank offers greater autonomy during your sailing adventure– no more lining up in port to refill water. • A diesel forced heating system will keep boat dry and warm also in spring and fall seasons. • A bow thruster provides ease while maneuvering in tight spots. All of these features ensure that your sailing vacation aboard Victoria I will be indeed- a vacation. Victoria I's sleek appearance and unique updated features will make sure that you have the experience of being on a private yacht and will guarantee that all eyes will be on you as you enter every port.
