The Dufour 560 Grand Large will be presented at Istanbul Boat Show, 14th to 23rd of February 2014. The new Dufour has been designed to satisfy customers seeking the perfect balance of perfomance, style, luxury and comfort. Respecting the essence of Dufour’s DNA, this product line extension inherits the remarkable seaworthiness that has made the brand successful internationally.
PERFORMANCE
You will see a very balanced hull shape, with powerful aft sections, low wetted surface area and a very effective set of appendages (keel & rudder). With high ballast ratio and increased form stability of the hull, the boat can support a powerful sailplan without sacrificing cruising comfort and safety.
The sail plan has been designed to guarantee maximum performance with minimum effort. The fixed bowsprit, the self tacking jib and the boom inclined forward are all examples of a sail plan that is derived from solo sailor open 60, where ease of handling in race mode are mandatory.

The German mainsheet system and self tacking jib enable easy and precise handling even with a small crew. The working area is designed to be clear from sunbathing areas as well as cooking, relaxing and dining spaces for the comfort and safety of all guests.
