As befits the flagship of the line, the 500 Grand’ Large sports the bells and whistles you’d expect to find on an oceangoing 50-footer.

A plumb bow and stern and beam carried well aft give the 410 Grand’ Large lots of room below for well-thought-out living spaces. On deck, a split cockpit ensures the skipper has room to work behind twin wheels, while the crew lounges around the teak drop-leaf table. The Dufour 410 is part of Cruising World‘s 2014 New Boat Showcase.
For sailors seeking a dual-purpose boat that will compete for the silver on the racecourse and provide a solid platform for a rewarding cruise afterward, this fast 36-footer from Felci Yacht Design may be the ticket. The no-nonsense hull, deep T bulb keel, and tall double-spreader rig will make this Dufour a delight to sail. The Dufour 36 Performance is part of Cruising World‘s 2013 New Boat Showcase.
