???? General Description
The Dufour 39 CC is a monohull cruising sailboat, built in GRP (polyester / fiberglass) by Dufour Yachts (France).
sailingtheweb.com
It was designed by naval architects Alain Mortain & Yannis Mavrikios (“CC” version).
The suffix “CC” stands for "Center Cockpit" — this layout often allows optimized interior volume, with an elevated cockpit providing visibility and comfort.
It is a cruising-oriented sailing boat, rather comfortable for offshore, coastal, or longer voyages depending on equipment.

????️ Interior layout & comfort
The 39 CC typically offers 2 double cabins + a convertible saloon, sleeping 6 to 7 people depending on layout.
A bathroom, marine toilet, kitchen (cambuse), and convivial living space are present — making it suitable for coastal or offshore cruising.
The central cockpit is an asset for safety and comfort at sea: better element protection, good arrangement for maneuvers and onboard living.
⚓ Sea behavior & usage
The Dufour 39 CC is considered safe and stable, well-balanced, with good sea qualities. Even in normal heel, it remains comfortable and manageable.
It may suit coastal navigation but also longer cruises — comfort, water and fuel storage capacity, and interior space make it a good compromise for a small crew or family.
The layout (central cockpit, spacious saloon, double cabins) makes life onboard pleasant, even for several days at sea.
✅ For whom / how used
The Dufour 39 CC is aimed at boaters seeking a versatile sailboat:
for coastal cruises or weekend trips along the coast,
for outings with family or friends, with good onboard comfort,
for “around Europe / long vacations” trips if well maintained equipment.
It combines ease of handling (simple rigging, central cockpit) and affordable living onboard, for 4 to 6 people, or a bit more. More information and photos on the site xboat.fr
