Dufour Grand Large 512 – 2017 (Staccato)

The Dufour 512 Grand Large is certainly an impressive yacht and one that builds on the success of the previous 500 Grand Large model that achieved 140 sales.

The updated model is strongly influenced by the solo around-the-world races with features like a fixed bowsprit that can fly an asymmetrical spinnaker.

The upward angled boom from a low gooseneck is another solo-race idea that makes it easier to reach the mainsail. It also makes the Dufour 512 safer to sail offshore.
