The Dufour 310 Grand Large embodies the lifestyle that Dufour has infused into its projects over the last 50 years:  it is fast, well-balanced, comfortable and easy to steer, even for a single handed purpose. The idea behind this project was to create a small boat with all the technology, iconic style and comfort of the bigger and luxurious Grand Large models.  The result is a boat with great personality, characterised by excellent performance, maximum ease of handling, and the timeless elegance of Dufour Yachts.  In just 9.35m length the 310 GL perfectly exhibits the latest Dufour design philosophy. Its streamlined, dynamic looks win you over at first glance, just like an authentic object of design and fashion. ConstructionHull: Hand-laminated polyester/glassfibreDecoration: Decorative stripes on the hullGelcoat: NPG Gelcoat with first of cloth impregnatet with NPG resinforming an optimum barrier against osmosis.Structure: Inner moulded hull bottom, structural framing laminatedto the hull.Deck: Sandwich construction with injected PVC foam coreBallast: Keel bolts bear on stainless steel back-platesRudder: 2 Semi-elliptical shape, filled with closed cell epoxy foamRudder stock: Solid stainless steelNon-slip deck surface: Diamond point non skid profile on deckDeckShroud chainplates: Outboard deck side shroud chainplatesMiscellaneous chainplates: No backstayMooring cleats: 4 aluminumMooring line protection: 4 stainless steel plates, on hull sheerlineFuel deck fillers: 1Water deck fillers: 1Mainsheet: Mainsheet on cockpit bottomGenoa track: Self tacking genoa track recessed on coachroof Vang: With quadruple-purchase tackle and cascadeThrough-deck fitting: Stainless steel swan-neck tube for electrical and electronic cablesDeck organizers: 5-sheave deck organizer for halyard, sheet, and reef line returnsHalyard winches: 1 Lewmar size 30 halyard winch on coachroof, to trim self tacking jib, mainsail sheet and halyardCleats: Jamcleats port side of the companionwayFurler line jamcleats: 1 at aft end of sidedeckHatch covers: Polyester cover forward of companionwayCockpitCockpit bench seats: Antiskid coveredHelmsman’s side seat: Antiskid coveredLockers: 1 large side locker to stbd with lid with fixing for padlockHelm: Twin steering wheels leather coveredEngine control: Engine throttle lever and control panel on cockpitsideCompasses: 1 compassInstrumentation: On aft end of cockpit coaming (OPT to be picked)Gas locker: Sealed locker aft, to portLiferaft locker: Locker in cockpit floor, aftShore supply: In stbd helmsman’s seat lockerCockpit floor: Non-slip polyester cockpit floorEmergency tiller: Head of rudder stock beneath helmsman’s floor for fitting the emergency tillerGalleyConfigurations: L-shaped port sideWorktop: ‘Corian®’ synthetic resin with integrated fiddleSink: Stainless sink with covers in ‘Corian®’Water: chrome-plated brass single-lever mixer tapGas cooker: 2-burner gas cooker (oven in the pack) on gimbals, with stainless railRefrigerator: refrigerator box with sliding storage bins (12 V electric compressor in the pack)Refrigerator access: Via the worktopStowage2 closed lockers1 sheld above cookerBelow sinkUnder burnerWaste bin: Below sinkOther: Light and ventilation ensured by opening port-lights above galleyRigging and SailsMast: Anodized aluminium with 1 levels of sweptback spreadersRigging: 9/10 fractionalMast stepping: On deckLights: 3-colour masthead light + anchor lightTopping lift: Boom topping lift cleatBoom: Anodized aluminium fitted with 2 continuous reefersFurler: Genoa roller furlerStanding rigging: Continuous in stainless single-strand cable, chrome-plated bronze rigging screws, comprising: forestay, inter and lower shroudsBackstay: No backstayRunning rigging: Running rigging in pre-stretched textile including: main and genoa halyards, boom topping lift, main and genoa sheets, 2 continuous reef lines, furling line, vang and outhaul
