Once more, Dufour combines comfort with performance in the design of the new 61. The result is pure harmony to enhance your incomparable sailing experience with simple luxury.

Innovative galley area

The Dufour 61 offers two different galley layouts, while maintaining spacious living space and enjoying plenty of natural day light. The layout with forward galley interconnects the different living spaces. The longitudinal port galley integrates very smart fittings and gives the feeling of being in a Chef's kitchen... This layout creates room for a large warm saloon.

Very spacious forward cabin

The master cabin, as spacious as it is luxurious, offers privileged private space for relaxation on the boat. You will appreciate the large wardrobe and numerous cupboards for infinite possibilities of storage.

Construction

TThe construction and layout of the deck have been devised to guarantee the boat's robustness and safety on board, along with comfort on deck. The hull and supporting structure are of monolithic infused construction and bulwark is directly integrated in the boat's hull the result is a very stiff hull.

Use of a proportionately smaller coach roof has been designed to allow for a larger foredeck enhancing both style and comfort. This new design enables a massive amount of natural light to enter below decks through the many opening ports and windows.

On deck circulation

The Dufour 61's design and layout offer great circulation on deck thanks to wide side decks, easy access out of the cockpit through the use of a small step forward of the helm positions.

The decks are clean and uncluttered, all control lines are led aft, so those in the seating area of the cockpit are free to relax and enjoy the sailing experience in comfort.
