Reviews and testimonial
DIE YACHT Germany
"Moderne Linien, niedriger Preis, gute Leistungen,
hoher Komfort - die grösste aus Dufours Cruiser-Reihe
ist ein ambitioniertes Boot für Eigner und Charterer...
....Schön & schnell...
Schnelle Fahrt, gute Eigenschaften... Viel Platz,
schöne Anmutung... Feines Finish, saubere Installation ....
Wenig Kritik, gutes Ganzes...Insgesammt:
Vernachlässigbar wenigen Kritikepunkten
stehen diverse und gewichtige postive Aspekte gegenüber.
Die Dufour 455 Grand'large ist, wie auch die übrigen Schiffe
der neuen Reihe, ein durchweg gelungenes Produkt.
Besonders die Balance zwischen Platz und Performance
scheint gelungen, das Schiff ist ein Beispiel dafür,
wie gut heute moderne Fahrtenyachten sein können.
Preis, Leistungen und Detaillösungen überzeugen den Kopf,
Linien und Gestaltung das Herz. Viel mehr kann
ein Kunde eigentlich nicht wollen.

from the French magazines Bateaux and Voile Magazine.
English reviews are about to follown during the next few weeks.
BATEAUX, France
"Signé Umberto Felci, le nouveau voilier amiral de Dufour est un croiseur
véloce et raffiné qui promet de belles traversées. Son confort,
propre à satisfaire des propriétaires exigeants,
est à la mesure de son agrément dans la brise."
"Avec le 455... après le 385 et le 365, Dufour conforte une place
qui était historiquement la sienne parmi les constructeurs de qualité.
En même temps, la firme renoue avec les principes
qui avaient fondé sa réputation dans les années 70:
proposer des croiseurs performants, confortables et bien construits..."
"A l'intérieur
que de place!
Points forts du 455: son immense carrré et sa luxueuse
cabine avant bien isolée et pourvue de rangements."
"En navigation
Puissant dans la brise
Confortable pour le barreur comme pour les passagers,
cette longue coque délivre d'excellentes sensations
dans la brise et la mer formée.
"Fleuron de la marque, le 455 assume son rôle avec brio
et confirme après le 385 et 365 la réussite de la gamme Grand'large....
il rassemble toutes les qualités que l'on attend d'un vrai croiseur hauturier,
avec en prime une ligne séduisante."
(juin 2005 p48 - 53)

VOILE MAGAZINE, France
"Un grand croiseur de charme"
"Les lignes fluides du Dufour 455 prouvent
qu'on peut concilier volume et élégance.
Bravo les architectes! "
"L'un des points forts de la nouvelle gamme Dufour,
c'est que tous ses représentants affichent une parenté évidente. ...
Cette cohérence dans le design, on la doit
à Patrick Roséo et Umberto Felci
qui ont signé tous les Dufour depuis 2002....
Avec le succès que l'on sait:
non seulement leurs voiliers répondent parfaitement
au cahier des charges qui leur est proposé,
mais il le font avec une certaine classe... Classieux:
un qualificatif qui correspond parfaitement au 455"
