“European Boat of the Year 2010”, not surprisingly from the Dufour Yachts stable. Already widely acclaimed by the general public, the professional press too has recognized its many excellent features.
Beautiful, big, modern, rich, and innovative — and what’s more, it goes very fast! You could say this Dufour 405 has all the attractions of the perfect heartthrob!
Like its forerunners under the Dufour ‘longship’ sign, this latest Grand’Large model sets a new standard for cruising yachts. So it’s not about to be rivalled — except by another Dufour yacht!

Sail Magazine Review of the Dufour 405
"We tacked through less than 80 degrees, losing little momentum, and pointed to within 33 degrees of the apparent wind before the mainsail started to stall. Even then the 405 made a steady 7 knots. Surprisingly, when we hove-to to let the photographer back onboard, the boat stopped dead in the water with the wind around 70 degrees off the bow—a rare phenomenon on a modern sailboat."
