2025 Dufour 530

The Dufour 530 brings together the design heritage of two distinct performance philosophies into a single cruising sailboat. Built on a Performance-range hull shaped for spirited sailing, the boat combines the handling characteristics of a racer with the comfort appointments of the Grand Large series. At nearly 50 feet, the yacht presents an open, well-equipped deck designed for both security and ease of use underway.

Below deck, four cabins and two heads provide accommodation for extended cruising. The interior layout emphasizes space and elegance throughout. Powered by a single 75-horsepower Volvo diesel engine, the yacht is fitted with a fiberglass hull and engineered for dependable performance in varied conditions.

The design introduces several notable features: flexible cockpit configurations for different manoeuvring preferences, a newly conceived bimini system, and refined deck detailing. These elements reflect careful attention to both the practical demands of sailboat ownership and the finer points of finish and aesthetics.
