Press Release: DUFOUR 445 Grand’Large

DUFOUR YACHTS is once again demonstrating its innovative capabilities for the new 2010-2011 season, with its latest model, the
DUFOUR 445 Grand’Large.
Following on the successful launch of the DUFOUR 375 Grand’Large at this autumn Boat Shows, the DUFOUR 445 Grand’Large is
unveiled at the Paris Boat show. This new model builds on DUFOUR YACHTS's reputation as a designer and manufacturer of
elegant, high-quality boats. This is the second new model to be released this year, like the other six boats in the Grand’Large range,
designed for coastal cruising, with an emphasis on performance, navigation comfort and on-board luxurious on-board living that
consumers have come to expect of Dufour Yachts.
The deck fitting arrangements are designed so that everything can be controlled from the cockpit. The mainsheet track is fitted with
a “German-style” system (optional) which frees up the coachroof and provides control of the mainsheet from the helm positions on
each side. This feature makes navigation more easier and safer.
Available in three- and four-cabin versions, the Dufour 445 Grand’Large owes its high-performance hull and design to Umberto
Felci - the designer responsible for the most attractive Dufour models. Decorated in noble Moabi with white edging, the interior
combines the traditional warmth and elegance of Dufour yachts with features that firmly place this 44 series vessel in the modern
era.
These are some of the many assets that this large DUFOUR YACHTS 445 model has to offer. You can admire these features at the
Paris Boat Show, where the new model will be unveiled to the public. We also invite you to visit your dedicated press area, where
you will find the full press release. Go to: www.dufour-yachts.com.
