All about Dufour 485 Grand Large version
At 14.73 m long, 4.70 m wide, 15 tonnes - with the Dufour 485 Grand Large of 2006, we entered the world of large boats. 15 tonnes is a significant weight in terms of inertia when manoeuvring in port, but this kind of mass is also capable of carving its way through heavy seas in bad weather. The 15-metre length ensures that you won't be in trouble when the least wave picks up, and the nearly 5-metre width provides plenty of room inside. But the Dufour 485's assets are only truly glimpsed through its measurements.
The hull is rounded, but gives off an impression of quiet power without resorting to any of the fashionable tricks of the trade, with a recessed beam but preserving a slightly narrowed stern, an almost straight transom which has a swim platform carved into it, there's teak all over, and it has an air draught of 19 m. What a look!
The Dufour 485 Grand Large (Grand Large refers to Dufour cruisers) is really seaworthy with a rig (113 m2 upwind) that means it copes with any situation as long as a third reef has been added to her mainsail, especially since two keel versions were available.
The interior is pretty smart itself with 1.98 m of headroom. The layout includes an L-shaped galley with Corian panelling, a fregaton chart table, 3 or 4 cabins and as many bathrooms. Special shoutout to the 3-cabin version because the front cabin has a real bed, which can be walked around.
