Description
The Dufour 560 Grand Large was designed by the Italian yacht designer, Umberto Felci, as a modern cruiser with a balanced hull and high ballast ration for stability. Her rig was designed for ease of handling, with an in-mast furling main, self-tacking jib, and fixed bowsprit. Sail Magazine described the 560 as "the biggest in the line but it’s no harder to sail than a 30-footer." These high-performing cruising yachts focus on combining luxury with ease of sailing making for a perfect cruising yacht. This 560 boasts a shallow 6.5' draft, not found on most 560's and highly desirable for its ability to anchor where the vast majority of boats this size cannot. Her spacious cockpit provides comfort and amenities for both sailing and socializing. Whether you are looking for a casual coastal cruiser, a racer or a capable offshore passage maker, she will fit the bill. She has recently benefited from extensive work and upgrades (details in the listing), and is READY TO CRUISE!
