The new Dufour 470 is in the water, the third new model in a year. PHOTOS

Dufour continues unabated in the process of renewing its new range. Taking to the water was the second of three new products the shipyard unveiled after the acquisition by Fountain Pajot, we are talking about the Dufour 470 (the other two new additions are the Dufour 530 already in the water and the new 61 on its way): at Milano Yachting Week – The Digital Boat Show can be found on display at the in the booth of Race Nautica.

Over the past year, the French shipyard has been rethinking, and streamlining its line. There are no longer the two separate ranges, the Performance and the Grand Large, but a single line with the ability to customize the boat to suit your needs. The significant aesthetic change is in the itch volumes, which are slightly flared near the deck to give the boat a more modern and sporty look.

The Dufour 470 combines both Dufour’s know-how and the brand’s desire for innovation. This model, in line with its predecessor, enjoys the shipyard’s DNA while offering a modern twist. As with the 530, the boat will be available in three versions because the shipyard has eliminated the division between the Performance and Grand Large lines, opting for a single hull that can be declined in different versions.
