Arriving January 2024
Preliminary specs are available / Picture of sistership
When Dufour’s know-how re-invents itself to craft the sailing boat of tomorrow. This results in a 47-foot sailing yacht which is both beautifully designed and high-performance for incredible thrills.
The Dufour 470 combines both Dufour’s know-how and the Brand’s desire to innovate. This model, in line with its predecessor, enjoys the shipyard’s DNA while offering an edge of modernity.
Its hull design and the fluidity of its deck layout already make it an iconic sailing boat. Its modernity, its simplicity and its elegance already make it a new “classic”.
Three models in one. Let your instinct do the talking…
