Afloat - Dufour 530 review
"The new Dufour 530 : Three Boats in One"
INNOVATION PIONEER
When the legendary Dufour Performance and Grand Large ranges come together as one. The ultimate merger of two worlds has created a sailboat with incomparable characteristics.
The Dufour 530 is a vibrant reflection of our extensive know- how. Developed on the architectural premise of the Performance range, its authentic racer hull has been designed with exhilaration in mind. Comfort is key when cruising so we have combined the main Grand Large features with an open, secure, fully equipped deck.
And to top it off, breathtaking innovations too. Three completely distinct manoeuvring layouts, a cockpit with all-new features, a revolutionary bimini concept and beautiful aesthetics.
A spacious, elegant sailboat finished down to the last detail. The ultimate distinction.

Highlights
The "Easy" version adapts to owners and charters looking for simplicity. She has a roof clear of any obstructions with manoeuvres fitted to the coamings.
The "Ocean" version is dedicated to owners with a traditional handling style, with halyard manoeuvres and mainsail traveller on the roof and sheets manoeuvres on the coamings.
The "Performance" version will seduce regatta sailors. She is equipped with main sheet point in the bottom of the cockpit, six winches and hydraulic power station for backstays and boom vang.
She features upgraded mast and boom for an increased sail area of 20 m2. The 2.80 meter keel is completed with a lead bulb. Finally, the signature and Performance equipments provide a pure racing look.
