Dufour Announces Launch Of New Dufour 530 [Sailboat Highlight]

The highly anticipated Dufour 530 will be unveiled in Dusseldorf 2020. We break down all the details of what makes this sailboat so special.

Background: The 530 is a unique hybrid of the Dufour Performance and the Grand Large, making her incomparable innovation something worth seeing. The 530 was developed on the architectural premise of the Performance range – she is designed to be a racer hull, with all the comfort of a Grand Large. Her deck is open, secure, and ready for anything.

Three versions, one model
