The 2020 Dufour 530

Aug 13, 2020

The 2020 Dufour 530 at Cannes makes her World Premiere afloat at Cannes and in October at Annapolis

The Dufour 530 offers three completely distinct layouts, a cockpit with all-new features, a revolutionary bimini concept and beautiful aesthetics:

The “Easy” version adapts to owners and charters looking for simplicity. She has a roof clear of any obstructions.

The “Ocean” version is dedicated to owners with a traditional handling style and mainsail traveller on the roof and sheet handling on the coamings.

The “Performance” version will seduce regatta sailors. She is equipped with main sheet point in the bottom of the cockpit, six winches and hydraulic power station for backstays and boom vang. She features upgraded mast and boom for an increased sail area of 20 m2. The 2.80 meter keel is completed with a lead bulb. Finally, the signature and performance equipment provide a pure racing look.

Following the success of the first 4 layouts, and to meet all sailing programs, Dufour will now be offering a new interior layout for the Dufour 530, with four beautiful double cabins including one with two single berths, and 4 independent heads.
