Dufour 470 YES&NO - 5 points of the boat compared with 5 points of the competition.

Finally a video that is worth watching. Many thanks for the lucid explanation of key design details beyond the usual promotion. After this introduction, we will be sailing the D ufour against the Ozeanis 46.1 and the German Hanse 460 next season, perhaps the RM 1380 will be on the water by then. However, based on our experience so far, we have no doubt that Your 470 yacht is one of the front runners when compared on the water, in the past it was always a surprise how well the previous models could keep up even against performance cruisers a la XP. The interior is also very appealing, bright light and pleasant wood, not the white oak like from the Ikea shelf. In any case, the silhouette is chic, compliments to the shipyard and Your team of developers.

How does this boat generate its own electricity? is there any generator? or does the boat's engine itself also take care of the energy? batteries? if yes, are they possible to load in a crossing? I didn't see any video talking about it, if anyone knows something and can tell me, thanks :)

Most inboard diesels have fairly large alternators these days or even two alternators. Sailboats doing long crossings will have wind generators, solar panels, a separate diesel genset, a large capacity house battery set & maybe an added hydrogenerator. An inverter is often used to convert DC from the batteries to 240 or 110 VAC mains power. Battery charging managers of various types are used to handle safely charging batteries of different technologies from various sources. I have another method of generating electricity that has two functions so it does something else but it's highly classified & very secret information.

I didn't know Italians speak such good English

Fun vid but doesn't really show much of the boat.

[@paulpaul9914]

Yes could have done with a quick tour of the boat to get an overall impression.
