2022 Dufour 530

The Dufour 530 is a 2022 cruising sailboat designed by Umberto Felci, built in fiberglass and certified CE Category A for ocean passages. Powered by a single Volvo Penta D2-75F saildrive rated at 75 hp, the boat reaches a maximum speed of 9 knots and cruises at 7 knots. At 53.64 feet long with a 16.37-foot beam, it offers substantial sea-kindly proportions for extended offshore work.

The layout sleeps up to 14 guests across seven cabins total: six guest staterooms plus a separate crew cabin. Three full heads provide ample facilities for a large party. Water capacity stands at 740 litres and fuel at 440 litres, supporting extended passages without frequent provisioning stops. The galley is fully equipped with oven, deep freezer, and refrigerator, fed by both hot and cold water systems.

Navigation and comfort systems include GPS chartplotter, AIS, autopilot, radar detector, VHF radio, and depthsounder. A generator with inverter, air conditioning, and heating ensure all-weather operation. The boat carries a bow thruster, electric windlass, and electric winch for handling. Deck features include a teak cockpit with hydraulic bathing platform, cockpit shower, davits, bimini top, spray hood, cockpit cover, and lazyjacks with lazy bag.

The sailing plan comprises a fully battened mainsail and furling genoa for 125 square metres of sail area. Safety equipment includes a liferaft, radar reflector, and both manual and electric bilge pumps. A tender with outboard brackets is included.
