Spent an afternoon on the new Dufour GL 460

A Dufour GL460 

The Dufour 460 is the latest and newest model in the Grand Large range. Inspired by the successes of the 500GL & 560GL the Dufour 460 offers the highest level of performance and interior comfort.

The 460 takes advantage of a completely new hull and deck. The extra width in the beam and the transom optimises the space available in cockpit and below in the salon and aft cabins. The modern chines guarantee a high level of performance.

The deck has been redesigned to create more space in the cockpit, clearer foredeck and side decks.

Like with all the yachts in the Dufour range the D460 sailing characteristics are defined by simple easy handling with high aspect sails and self tacking jibs to create a un rivalled performance.
