The Dufour 445 Grand Large is a performance-oriented cruising yacht designed by Umberto Felci and built by Dufour Yachts between 2011 and 2013. With a displacement of 22324.0 lb and a fractional sloop rig, it balances speed with comfort, though specific build counts are not available in the source data.
- Best for:
- This boat suits active coastal cruisers and short-handed sailors who prioritize sailing performance and modern interior layouts over heavy offshore provisioning.
- Bluewater capability:
- With a capsize ratio of 2.03 and a displacement of 22324.0 lb, the boat is capable of offshore passages but is designed primarily for coastal and nearshore cruising rather than extreme bluewater endurance.
- Comparables:
- It is comparable to the Beneteau 461 and Jeanneau 44.2 from the same era, as all three offer similar fractional sloop rigs and performance-focused hull forms for the 44-foot market.
