About the DUFOUR 520 GRAND LARGE
Hull length:14.75 m Mainsail:52.80 m² Genoa:48 m²
The Dufour 520 Grand Large is a performance-oriented cruising yacht designed by Felci Yacht Design and built by Dufour Yachts, with production starting in 2017. While the exact build count is not specified in the available data, this model represents Dufour's entry into the large, high-performance cruising segment with a fractional sloop rig.
- Best for:
- This boat is best suited for experienced coastal cruisers and short-handed sailors who prioritize sailing performance and interior volume over heavy offshore ruggedness. Its fractional rig and moderate displacement make it ideal for those who enjoy active sailing in moderate conditions.
- Bluewater capability:
- With a displacement of 33609.0 lb and a capsize ratio of 1.96, the boat is capable of offshore passages, though its relatively light displacement and fin keel suggest it is better suited for coastal and nearshore cruising rather than extreme bluewater expeditions.
- Comparables:
- Comparable boats include the Beneteau 50 and Jeanneau 52.5, as they share similar production eras, fractional rigs, and a focus on performance cruising with spacious interiors.
