Sailing yacht Dufour 412 is designed by Umberto Felci and has features common to the shipyard's line of cruise sailboats. Hull shape with a wide back (about 14 feet) combined with a hard chine provides huge aft space, ease of movement and control of sails. The high freeboard, sheer bow and straight transom are as recognizable as the unparalleled comfort of life aboard this powerful cruising yacht.
Journalist and yachtsman Sam Jefferson complained that he almost had a nervous breakdown when he tried to find flaws when testing the Dufour 412 Grand Large. And I came to the conclusion that the manufacturing giants of yacht building like the Dufour shipyard simply cannot afford to produce sailboats with problems.
Therefore, each new sailing yacht of the shipyard pleases with new achievements in comfort and control. The shipyard designers never compromise when it comes to performance and comfort.
- The developers of the Dufour shipyard abandoned the four winches at the stern, all running rigging to which went through channels installed in the cockpit coamings.
- To facilitate rigging, a pair of main winches are used behind the twin helms on port and starboard, and a pair of smaller winches on the upper deck are used to steer the mainsail.
- Easier access to the mainsail when lifting, lowering and stacking.
- The huge cockpit creates a feeling of closeness, due to lockers in the stern on the starboard side.
- The cockpit has a place for a barbecue, a refrigerator and a sink built into the locker, which makes it possible to cook and dine al fresco.
- Lots of natural light below deck, large overhead windows, an opening hatch for ventilation and two pairs of side windows.
Sailing cruiser yacht Dufour 412 in the standard version offers two cabins with one saloon aft. This is an option for sea sailing with a loved one or a couple of friends.
There is also an option with two double cabins aft (in addition to the owner's cabin) and a bathroom in the bow. Dufour 412 Grand Large with 3 cabins and 7 berths provides maximum comfort for a large company.
This sailing yacht is bought by yachtsmen who want to enjoy steering and mooring, but don’t want to give up the usual comfort even on a cruise.
