Jump up for Dufour Yachts, which is preparing its new flagship for early next year. It is the 560 Grand Large, which brings to its 17.15 meters (by 5.05 wide) some of the features that made the 500 successful, while optimizing them.
Already at the bow, we find a fixed dolphin hatch, which incorporates the anchor snout and allows for improved performance with gennaker or Zero tails, which have their point of mura here. In the stern, however, here is the large fold-down mirror, which conceals within it a garage that can accommodate a tender without disassembling the outboard, simply by deflating the bow tube section. In the cockpit, that “treat” of an outdoor barbecue could not be missed. The sail plan is simplified with the presence of a self-tacking jib or genoa at 107% overlap.
THE INTERIOR IS MODULAR
There are many opportunities for customization of the Dufour 560 Grand Large; particularly striking are the many options provided for the master cabin: with a separate bath and shower, with a single bath and a sofa, or you can opt to “break” it into two cabins. At the far bow there is then the possibility of having the sailor cabin. Overall, they range from a four-cabin version (plus a sailor) to only two large double cabins plus the sailor cabin.
