About the DUFOUR 365 GRAND LARGE
Optional draft: 1,70 m / 5.58'
The Dufour 365 Grand Large is a fractional sloop designed by Umberto Felci and built by Dufour (FRA) in 2004. With a displacement of 13801.0 lb and a beam of 11.88 ft, this model represents a specific iteration of Dufour's performance-oriented cruising line from the mid-2000s.
- Best for:
- This boat suits coastal cruisers and performance-oriented sailors who prioritize interior volume and modern sailing characteristics over heavy offshore displacement. Its fractional rig and relatively light displacement make it well-suited for active weekend cruising and short-to-medium range passages.
- Bluewater capability:
- With a D/L ratio of 218.22 and a capsize ratio of 1.98, the boat is designed for coastal and nearshore cruising rather than heavy bluewater passagemaking, prioritizing speed and handling over heavy-weather stability.
- Comparables:
- Comparable boats include the Beneteau First 36.7 and the Jeanneau Sun Odyssey 36.2, as they share similar fractional sloop rigs, lightweight construction philosophies, and target the same market of performance-conscious coastal cruisers from the same era.
