BLUE HORIZON

## BLUE HORIZON — Dufour sailing catamaran, 2020 Fourteen metres and sixty-three of sailing catamaran, launched by Dufour in 2020 and based year-round in Greece: BLUE HORIZON is built for the kind of cruising the Aegean rewards — shallow draught, wide decks, and the stability that lets ten people share a boat without ever feeling on top of one another. A catamaran of this size does something a monohull of the same length simply cannot. The beam buys you volume where it matters: a saloon that opens straight onto the aft cockpit, twin hulls that keep the sleeping areas genuinely separate from the living space, and trampolines forward that become the most contested real estate on board by mid-morning. Accommodation — five cabins for up to ten guests. Four of them are fitted with queen-size beds, each sleeping two, with en-suite bathroom facilities. A fifth cabin completes the layout; the detailed bed configuration is available on request, so the arrangement can be confirmed against your party before you book rather than guessed at. Under sail she is unhurried by design, cruising at 9 knots with 13 available when the wind and the schedule agree. That is the right rhythm for the Cyclades or the Ionian — long enough between anchorages to feel you have travelled, short enough to be swimming off the steps before lunch. A permanent crew of two runs the yacht: one to sail her and handle the passages, one to look after the galley and the guests. On a boat this size that ratio works in your favour — the service is direct and personal rather than layered, and the crew know every bay worth diverting for. Greece, summer and winter. Bareboat comfort with none of the bareboat responsibility.
