The 530 is a merger of Dufour’s Grand Large and Performance ranges.

The 530 is offered in three distinct versions & deck layouts to suit every owners needs whether sailing with a full crew or short handed.

The latest in design the 530 optimises space above and below decks, guarantees simple sailing and retains very comfortable living areas.

At 16.35m length overall, she has a waterline length just under 15m to enhance speed through the water. With a maximum beam of just under 5m, the Dufour 530 offers spacious living areas and accommodation.

KEY FEATURES

The 530 ‘Easy’ model, as the name suggests, is the most simplified version, perfectly set up for owners wanting simple and straight forwards cruising. With a clean, uncluttered cabin roof layout, and control of all the lines which are led directly back to the helm, she will certainly be ‘easy’ to handle.

The 530 ‘Ocean’ model is specifically for owners seeking a traditional deck layout. The halyards are led to the aft cockpit / helm position, along with two additional winches for genoa and mainsheet control. A noticeably wide, full-width mainsheet traveler is positioned on the coach roof for enhanced mainsail trimming.

The 530 ‘Performance’ model is an evolution of the much loved Performance Range. Aimed at owners wishing to race competitively, as well as maximise their cruising experience. The 530 Performance features an upgraded mast and boom package, an increased sail area of 20m2, additional winches, a 2.80m lead keel, plus a fully upgraded hydraulic package to safely control the increased loads.

The aft transom area has been designed to include two access points into the cockpit from the bathing platform.
Either side of the now ‘trademark’ Dufour BBQ and external galley, is the option to include retractable dinghy davits. There is ample, easily accessible stowage for vital safety equipment such as the liferaft, and the whole cockpit can be covered by a semi-permanent bimini.
The new cockpit design includes a step up for secure and easy access to the wide side decks and there’s specific storage areas for all the sheets and halyards.

With a large forward galley, the saloon space is typical of the Dufour DNA, roomy, airy and with lots of natural daylight.
Cabin layouts range between three cabins and three heads/showers up to six cabins, with double pullman cabins and three heads/showers.
Up front there is a choice of a large forward owner’s cabin or twin double cabins for charter work, and aft the cabin layouts offer one double and one twin. Each model is available with a skipper’s cabin.
