HIGHLIGHTS
The Dufour 61 offers two different galley layouts, while maintaining spacious living space and enjoying plenty of natural day light. The layout with forward galley interconnects the different living spaces. The longitudinal port galley integrates very smart fittings and gives the feeling of being in a Chef’s kitchen… This layout creates room for a large warm saloon.

The master cabin, as spacious as it is luxurious, offers privileged private space for relaxation on the boat. You will appreciate the large wardrobe and numerous cupboards for infinite possibilities of storage.

FAMILY FEELING
The construction and layout of the deck have been devised to guarantee the boat’s robustness and safety on board, along with comfort on deck. The bulwark is directly integrated in the boat’s hull. And the coach roof has been designed to leave room for a broad foredeck enhancing both style and comfort.

GUARANTEED SENSATIONS
The deck layout has been designed to facilitate every manoeuvre, thereby enhancing your sailing experience. Large windows and portholes provide natural light and the signature of our new Dufour line.

The Dufour 61’s design and layout offer great circulation on deck thanks to its cockpit and bimini top specially designed for this purpose: a perfect blend of performance and comfort.

Tahiti—Updates from Paradise

By Zuzana Prochaska

I’ve been to Tahiti seven times—six on charter and once as crew for a couple of yachties. Over the 25 years that I’ve been visiting, it’s changed dramatically. Yet, inexplicably, it has also stayed the same.
