2014 DUFOUR GRAND LARGE 310  

In celebrating 50 years of innovation and leadership of European production yachts, Dufour are extending the model range of the Dufour Grand Large. The New GL310 becomes the entry level for the brand. Particular attention has been made in trying to simplify its use. Mainsheet controls able to broght aft to the helmsman and a sail plan that incorporates a self tacking headsail. Providing a unique pleasure when it comes to cruising: it is fast, lots of fun, well-balanced, comfortable and easy to steer, even for a single handed purpose.

The Dufour 310 deck is an evolution of the latest design trend of the Dufour 410 and 500 inspired by the original “arpage” deck shape.

There are many reasons why this model is so special, starting with the project’s designers. Once again Dufour Yachts has relied on the talented and innovative design of Felci with whom the yard won both european and american yacht of the year with the Dufour 36 Performance last year.

The cockpit is pretty unique with double steering wheels as standard as well as double rudder blades to guarantee perfect boat balance and control even when heeled. The sail plan is presenting a high aspect ratio to maximize performance on one hand, while on the other the non overlapping self tacking jib guarantees maximum ease of use with a limited crew.

The boat can be fitted with a shallow keel, where the boat can self stand, ideal for lakes as well as specific areas of very shallow water.

The Dufour 310 has an internal layout divided into two cabins, an ample dinette and one bathroom. The precious oak materials have been entrusted to experts and skilful craftsmen.

Particular attention has been paid to enhancing the flow of light, from the big hull and deck windows lots of natural light is guaranteed, which makes the interior a pleasure to live in.

This boat reflects a discreet and comfortable concept of luxury.

The Grand Large 310 embodies the lifestyle that Dufour has infused into its projects over the last 50 years, distinguished by an authentic passion for the sea, design, technology, performance and innovation, as well as safety.
