The Grand Large 560 has been designed to satisfy customers seeking the perfect balance of performance, style, luxury and comfort. Respecting the essence of Dufour’s DNA, this product line extension inherits the remarkable seaworthiness that has made the brand successful internationally. PERFORMANCE The collaboration between Dufour Yachts and the talented design of Felci Yachts has been renewed, the Grand Large 560 will be the 23rd consecutive project developed together. The result of this collaboration is a very balanced hull shape, with powerful aft sections, low wetted surface area and a very effective set of appendages (keel & rudder). The high ballast ratio and increased form stability of the hull enables the boat to support a powerful sailplan without sacrificing cruising comfort and safety. The sail plan has been designed to guarantee maximum performance with minimum effort. The fixed bowsprit, the self tacking jib and the boom inclined forward are all examples of a sail plan that is derived from solo sailor open 60, where ease of handling in race mode are mandatory. EXTERIOR STYLE & FEATURES The DUFOUR 560 GL flagship sets the highest standards when it comes to aesthetic appeal. The yacht exudes modern elegance, luxury and dynamism with its sweeping lines and uniquely DUFOUR top fixed hatch, with angled corners and horizontal sleek side windows, the GL 560 delivers a striking visual statement.

The German mainsheet system and self tacking jib enable easy and precise handling even with a small crew. The working area is designed to be clear from sunbathing areas as well as cooking, relaxing and dining spaces for the comfort and safety of all guests. INTERIOR STYLE & FEATURES Below deck, the spacious GL 560 features meticulous craftsmanship and modern, yet functional design elements.
