The Yacht Sales Co is gearing up for a busy Sanctuary Cove International Boat Show from 19-22 May with two of the shipyard’s finest models on display.
The Dufour 470 and the Dufour 530 will be exhibited at the show, with company manager Bob Vinks saying appointments to inspect the yachts at the event are already filling up.
The Dufour 470 combines both Dufour’s vast expertise and the brand’s commitment to innovation, with its hull design and fluid deck layout delivering a sophisticated aesthetic and stunning performance.
Available in three versions as a commitment by the shipyard to offer choices to all its clients, the Dufour 470 on display at Sanctuary Cove will be the Ocean version. This deck layout generally suits owners who wish for a more traditional movement plan with the sheet winches positioned on the coamings and the sail controls are led to the winches by the companionway. The yacht is also available in the Easy and Performance versions to cater for relaxed cruisers and thrill-seeking racers alike.
Design innovations in the interior of the Dufour 470 allow for an optimum use of space to guarantee simple sailing while retaining very comfortable sleeping areas. “Dufour Yachts have an exceptional reputation throughout the world, and this new model has captured the attention of buyers as it delivers stunning design and superb performance in one perfect package,” Bob Vinks said.
The Dufour 530 will also be on display at the show and the yacht has garnered critical worldwide acclaim since its launch, winning the prestigious SAIL Magazine 2021 Best Boat Award in the category of ‘Best Large Monohull 50ft and above’.
Developed on the architectural premise of the Performance range, the yacht’s authentic racer hull has been designed with exhilaration in mind. Comfort is key when cruising so Dufour has combined the main Grand Large features with an open, secure, fully equipped deck.
The Dufour 530 is loaded with innovations, including three completely distinct manoeuvring layouts, a cockpit with all-new features, a revolutionary bimini concept and beautiful aesthetics.
The Yacht Sales Co is the exclusive Australian dealer of Dufour Yachts and will be exhibiting at the Sanctuary Cove Boat Show from 19-22 May with its sister company, Multihull Solutions.
