All about Dufour 405 Grand Large version
The Dufour 405 Grand large, the first from the modern era! During the first few public launches of the Dufour 405 Grand Large, journalists from the specialist press began by expressing their surprise at this boat with its high freeboard and distinctive lines, before going into raptures when they saw it under sail.
It was 2010 and this boat was a forerunner of the design of many future boats to come. Architects were beginning to come up with angles and sharp lines. The return of the bilge made the curves of yesteryear suddenly out of fashion, but the Dufour 405 Grand Large was at the forefront of the range's aesthetic revival, and is a boat that has a few surprises up its sleeves with its qualities under sail. It is dynamic, fast and goes upwind well. She has a traditional rig with a large overlapping genoa. It's a layout you don't often see now with all the self-tacking jibs out there that are simple and easy to use but obviously a lot less powerful.
The open cockpit is large and very pleasant. It is equipped with 2 helm stations as has become customary. It is there, under the helm's seat that Dufour has cleverly hidden the tank filler pipes, which are thus safe from theft and other malicious acts. Depending on the options, the boat may or may not come with teak fittings and a large cockpit table. The interior of the Dufour 405 Grand Large has benefited from its exterior dimensions and is very comfortable, whether it's the 3-cabin charter version or the 2-cabin owner's version.
