Ever since Michel Dufour founded his boatyard in 1964, the company has been delivering comfortable performance cruisers that sail well, provide good value, and offer fine accommodations. Designed by Umberto Felci, this new 50-footer, with a hard chine that carries its beam well aft, fits well with Dufour's long legacy. The Dufour 500 Grand Large is part of Cruising World's 2013 New Boat Showcase.
