Dufour 460 Grand Large
An extremely popular sailing boat for summer holidays with family or friends. The Dufour 460 Grande Large is stable, wide and spacious enough.
Capacity and equipment of the Dufour 460 Grand Large
In general, "Dufours", and this model not excluded, have a large foresail. If you ever don't feel like hoisting the mainsail, the gena can propel you on its own (not ideal, but it works). The Grand Large designation in the name suggests that this boat is plenty wide and roomy. It is therefore a great choice for friends, or perhaps two families who want to maintain a certain amount of privacy on the boat.
Where can you sail from?
As well as the traditional Croatia, Greece and Italy, you can explore the exotic in Martinique, Guadeloupe, St Martin and the British Virgin Islands. But you can also rent a Dufour 460 Grand Large called BOQUEIRAO in the beautiful Montenegro. With its national parks and ancient harbours, it is quite possibly one of the most magical countries in Europe. As an independent country, it hasn't even celebrated its twentieth birthday yet. Yet it offers breathtaking mountain scenery for leisurely sailing that even beginners can enjoy. Read our article 8 reasons why you should consider sailing here this year.
Tip yachting.com
Beware, when you search for a Dufour 460 Grand Large, remember that it is often referred to only by the letters GL. However, it is the same model.
Dufour Shipyards
This French company was founded in 1964 by renowned naval architect and engineer Michel Dufour. It is one of the most famous charter boat brands ever and one of the largest shipyards in the world. Dufour is based in the world-famous yachting region of La Rochelle, where more than 400 employees are dedicated to the production of yachts on an impressive 18,000 square metres. The local production prides itself on safety and stability, and the emphasis is also on the impressive elegance of the vessels.
Tailor-made for family cruises
Dufour sailing yachts are usually characterised by one completely overlooked detail, the large headsail. They often have a spacious baden plateau, a barbecue and a large cockpit. "Dufours" can be highly recommended for family cruises or quieter holidays at sea. Although their hull allows for fast sailing, they are not racing sailboats. The boats are very stable, they do not go into a roll or spin-out too soon.
The most popular models
In 2018, the Dufour brand was bought by Fountaine Pajot, but the original Dufour brand was retained. The most famous models are the Dufour 390 or the larger Dufour 460 Grand Large. Dufour boats are mostly rented in Croatia, Greece and Italy.
Fountaine Pajot
The so-called "armout" is a matter of the heart for many sailors. One of the most famous French brands of double-hulled yachts is extremely popular on the charter market. Founded in 1974 by Jean Françoise Fountaine and Yves Pajot, it currently produces between 150 and 180 new catamarans (including motor yachts) a year.
From yachtsmen for yachtsmen
The company prides itself on the fact that its designers are passionate yachtsmen. They are keen to follow modern trends, especially in the field of materials, and strive to apply them to the hull and equipment. Fontaine Pajout has enriched the market with a number of patents and innovations, the brand's most famous invention being the injection moulding of material into the hull.
Currently, they mainly produce cruising catamarans, where the emphasis is on comfort and space. Right in the spirit of Fountaine Pajot's tradition of focusing on providing a premium lifestyle while cruising.
The most popular models
Fountaine Pajot's most popular models include the Isla 40, Elba 45 and Saona 47. The company's catamarans can be found all over the world, but mostly in exotic destinations like the Bahamas, Seychelles and Martinique. The reason for this is the low draft.
