NEW LAUNCH 2007

Dufour Yachts builders have always been in the vanguard of technological innovation, as long as these innovations translate into real benefits for the user.

So the topsides produced in vacuum-bonded sandwich allow a significant weight saving with increased strength. In the same way, the production of the deck by infusion, besides eliminating any risk of delamination, also contributes to weight reduction in the upper parts of the boat, allowing a noticeable lowering of the centre of gravity, and thereby better stability and increased stiffness.

The lamination of the network of ribs in the ballast area combines the advantages of cleanliness in the gelcoated bottom with the solidity and rigidity of traditional construction.

The use of NPG gelcoat for the hull builds an improved barrier against osmosis and a perfect finish.
The installation of the engines with ‘sail-drive’ transmission eliminates stern gland vibration and water ingress, while the optimum propeller position makes for easier maneuvering.

The mounting of the rudder on self-aligning bearings give a sensitive, gentle helm under all circumstances.

The result of lengthy research and work by an enthusiastic team with multi-disciplinary experience, the Dufour 485 lives up to a draconian set of specifications: rare elegance, high performance, luxurious design, and high technology to the benefit of the user...

  • The hull designed by Umberto Felci reconciles features from the latest regatta yachts: generous LWL, for a high maximum speed, fine water entries, taut lines, maximum beam continuing well towards the stern with the imperatives of sea-going cruising: high shape stability, good stiffness.
  • The broad, uncluttered side-decks make for easy, safe movement around the boat.
    The main winches and key adjustments are located close to the helmsman.
    The luxurious stern sun platform conceals the tender and life-raft in a specially-designed locker.
  • The accommodation designed by Patrick Roséo is typified by the appropriate spaces: no compromise on the comfort of the bunks, the volume of the hanging lockers, ease of movement.
    Although very modern, Patrick Roséo’s styling does not play the fashion ticket. The Dufour 485 interior is sober, nautical, and welcoming, with ergonomics well-designed for both stopovers in port and fine sailing trips.
