Dufour 350 Grand Large

Developed from the D 335 GL, this yacht borrows from its bigger brothers all the finesse of style that takes the quality of life to new heights, when sailing as well as at mooring. 

Designed for long-haul sailing, life aboard benefits from every convenience, thanks to its open cockpit, among so many other features. The 350 is available in two different 3 cabin layouts as well as a 2 cabin layout.

Fitting into the Grand’ Large range and presented as an ideal pocket yacht for long - distance cruising, the first thing that strikes is the absence of a backstay, thanks to a rethink of the rigging and spreader design; secondly, she has twin wheels — quite something for such a small yacht — which gives easy acces to the aft bathing platform area (particularly without a backstay in the way); and thirdly, she has been designed with some above-class-average tankage to deliver cruising autonomy.

Her two-cabin interior is fairly straightforward, with a portside aft galley at the foot of the wider-than-usual hatch and companionway and a chart table to starboard, with the midships area given to twin fore and aft bench settees and a central table. The sleeping cabins — one in the bow and one in the stern — mean that you can cruise with friends who snore. With her mainsail and 128 per cent genoa offering 55 m² of canvas it will be interesting to see how she performs.

• High performance thanks to its chine hull and long mast
• Maximum comfort with 3rd cabin and functional interiors
• Large sail plan with self-tracking jib in the standard version
