INTRODUCTION

DUFOUR YACHTS is pleased to present you with this manual, which will help you get to know your

boat better.

This Manual has been produced to help you use your boat safely and enjoyably. It contains details of the
boat, the equipment supplied or fitted, its systems and information about their use. Read it carefully and
familiarize yourself with the boat before using it.
This Owner’s Manual is not a course in sailing safety or seamanship. If this is your first boat or you are
changing to a type of boat you are unfamiliar with, for your convenience and safety, make sure you gain
experience in handling and using it before taking command. Your agent, national sailing or cruising
federation or yacht club will be happy to give you information about sailing schools or qualified instructors
in your area.
Ensure that forecast wind and sea conditions correspond to the design category of your boat, and that you
and your crew are capable of handling the boat in these conditions. Even when your boat is suitable for
them, the sea and wind conditions corresponding to design categories A, B, and C vary from severe storm
for category A to severe conditions for the top end of category C, subject to dangers of abnormal gusts or
waves; these are dangerous conditions in which only an experienced, trained crew in good shape, sailing a
properly-maintained boat, can sail in a satisfactory manner.
This Owner's Manual is not a detailed maintenance or repair guide. In the event of problems, consult the
boatbuilder or their representative. If a maintenance manual is provided, be sure to use it.
Always employ the services of an experienced professional for maintenance, fitting accessories, or
modifications. Modifications that could affect the characteristics of the boat must be assessed, performed
and documented by qualified personnel. The boatbuilder cannot be held responsible for modifications
made without their approval.
In certain countries, a skipper's license or some form of authorization is required, or special rules and
regulations are applicable.
Always maintain your boat correctly and make allowances for deterioration due to age or resulting, where
applicable, from heavy or unsuitable use. Any boat, however sturdy, can be severely damaged if it is used
incorrectly. This is incompatible with safe sailing. Always suit your speed and heading to the prevailing sea
conditions.
If your boat is equipped with a life raft, read its instruction manual carefully. The crew must have all the
safety equipment on board (life-jackets, harnesses, etc.), corresponding to the type of boat, weather
conditions, etc. In some countries, this equipment is mandatory. The crew must be familiar with the use of
all the safety equipment and the emergency safety procedures (man overboard recovery, towing, etc.);
training sessions are regularly organized by sailing schools and clubs.
It is recommended that all persons wear appropriate buoyancy aids (life-jackets, personal flotation devices)
when on deck. It should be noted that in certain countries, it is compulsory to wear a buoyancy aid
(complying with national regulations) at all times.

KEEP THIS MANUAL IN A SAFE PLACE AND PASS IT ON TO THE NEW OWNER IF YOU
SELL THE BOAT.

NOTICE: Our boats are regularly improved in light of our customers’ experiences and

research carried out by the shipyard. As a result, the specifications given in this Owner’s
Manual are not contractually binding and may be changed without notice and without any
obligation to update them. This manual is intended to cover as much information as
possible, so certain equipment or paragraphs might not apply to your boat. In case of
doubt, please refer to the inventory which should have been given to you by your agent
when you placed your order.

Yacht design category

Your DUFOUR 430 enters into design category OCEAN (category A).

Under normal conditions of use, your boat is designed to sail in waves of a significant height over 4
m, winds of Beaufort force 8 and above, and to resist under more severe conditions.

This navigational capacity also depends on the skill of the crew, their physical capacity, boat
maintenance and equipment.

So always take care before putting to sea.

DUFOUR YACHTS is not able to guarantee perfect functioning of the boat in exceptional sea
conditions (violent storms, hurricanes, cyclones, waterspouts, etc.)

If a fuse or circuit-breaker trips repeatedly, you should consult a specialist to determine the cause
of the short-circuit.

Fitting new equipment

Since 1 January 1996, electrical equipment is subject to the European Directive on
''electromagnetic compatibility'' (Ref 89/336/EEC). It is therefore necessary that any new
equipment you may wish to install meets the requirements of this standard and bears the CE mark.
Equipment must also be supplied with a compliance certificate and instructions for use.

In the case of 220 or 110 V installations, use only double-insulated or earthed equipment. Respect
the instructions for installation when installing these devices (wire gauge, protection).

To avoid maintenance problems, note any modifications to the electrical layout in the manual.

ENGLISH 26/02/2019 12/92 DUFOUR 430 Grand Large

Batteries

The standard battery installation consists of two 105 Ah auxiliary batteries and one 105 Ah engine
battery. With the electric winch option, there are three 92 Ah AGM batteries. For a windlass and
bow thruster, add one or two 92 Ah AGM batteries at the front.

Their capacities have been designed to handle the power requirements of the on-board
accessories. To avoid any problems, it is necessary to keep a close eye on the maintenance and
correct charging of the batteries.

CAUTION!

● When you install new electrical devices, make sure that the overall consumption of these
devices remains proportional to the capacity of your batteries.

● Always disconnect the negative (-) battery terminal before the positive (+) terminal.

● Never allow a conductive object (tools, etc.) to bridge across the two battery terminals.

● When handling batteries, avoid any leakage of electrolyte liquid by keeping them horizontal.

Wear gloves and proper clothing to avoid any risk of contact with the electrolyte in the event of a
leak.

● In the event of a projection of electrolyte, thoroughly rinse the part of the body concerned and
consult a doctor.

Electric windlass

CAUTION!

When you use the electric windlass, it is essential to run your engine with a slight acceleration.

DANGER!

The on-board 220V installation is protected by a circuit breaker and fitted with a residual current
device. The wiring of additional 220V on-board accessories must be carried out by professionals
and the master circuit-breaker uprated if necessary.

- Do not modify the electrical installation of the boat or the relevant layout. Installation, modification
and maintenance should be carried out by a qualified naval electrician. Have the system checked
every 2 years

- Disconnect the boat power supply when the system is not in use.

- Connect the metallic housing of on-board electrical devices to the boat’s protection conductor

(green conductor or green with a yellow stripe).

- Use double-insulated or earthed electrical appliances.

- A test of the differential circuit breaker (RCD) should be carried out every month if possible.

CAUTION!
When the boat is moored at the quayside, set the isolator to the open position.

DANGER!
Your boat is not supplied with a shore/boat supply cable or a male plug for the shore outlet. The
cable must be suitable for outdoor use. Its diameter should be adapted to its length and the
power of the main circuit breaker (See the electrical diagram). The plug must be suitable for the
shore socket (if necessary, seek professional advice). It should be as close as possible to the IP

67/IEC529 type

WARNING: To reduce the risk of electric shock and fire.

● Switch off the shore supply at the on-board isolator before connecting or disconnecting the
shore/boat supply cable.

● Connect the shore/boat supply cable to the boat before connecting it to the shore outlet.

● Disconnect the shore/boat supply cable at the shore outlet before disconnecting it from the

boat.

● Properly close the protection of the power supply inlet when docked

Never:

● Make any modifications to the shore supply cable: use only compatible connectors.

● Swim near a boat connected to a shore supply socket: risk of electrocution!

IV. GAS INSTALLATION

General Information

- Pressure for use: 30 mbar (see indication on the label in the gas locker and on the regulator valve)

- Vents to use for the evacuation of burnt gas: hatch above the cooker and companionway

- Do not obstruct quick access to the elements of the gas installation (cylinder locker, shut-off valve).

- Regularly inspect the hoses at least once a year and change them if damaged, if the expiry date is

exceeded, or five years after the manufacture date printed on the hose.

- Valves attached to empty cylinders must be closed and disconnected. Protective covers, caps and
plugs must be kept in place. Reserve cylinders must be kept in housings or lockers for LPG
cylinders with ventilation to the exterior, or stored at the exterior of the boat, protected from
weather and mechanical damage, and in such a way that any leaking gas can only escape to the
exterior of the boat.

- Lockers for LPG cylinders must not be used for the storage of any other equipment.

- Ensure that the gas cylinder and regulator comply with the requirements of the cooker (flow rate,

pressure, type of gas) and with the regulations in force in the country where it is being used.

- Make sure that all valves are closed when replacing gas cylinders.

Operation of the LPG system

- The valves of the supply lines and cylinders must be closed when the devices are not used or
before filling, and must be immediately shut off in case of emergency.

- The valves of the appliances must be closed before opening the cylinder valve.

located nearby and the companionway when the appliances are in operation.

- The cooker is suspended and can therefore be used when under sail. However, limit its use when
large angles of roll or heel are likely.

Checking the system

- The LPG system should be checked for leaks before each use as follows:

- Close the valve of the appliance, open the LPG cylinder valve, allow the pressure of the pressure

gauge to stabilise, close the valve of the LPG cylinder, check the pressure indicated by the
pressure gauge located near the cylinder for three minutes. The pressure indicated by the pressure
gauge should be constant if there is no leak in the system.

- Information: the pressure gauge does not give an indication of the quantity of liquid LPG remaining
in the cylinder but only its vapour pressure, which is a constant at a given temperature.

- If a leak of LPG is detected or suspected, immediately take the following steps:

- Cut of the supply at the main supply valve(s).

- Extinguish any naked flames and other sources of combustion (heating appliances, cooking

appliances, lights, etc.)

- Do not operate any electrical switches.

- Evacuate the area, if possible.

WARNING

The bilge pump system is not designed to handle water entering as a result of holing of the hull.
It is intended to remove water coming from spray, leaks from seacocks or other moderate
leaks.

CAUTION!

● The level of water in the bilges must be kept to a minimum

● Make sure that bilge pumps are in working order before putting to sea.

● Regularly clean the bilge and pump suction points or strainers to keep them free of any debris

that could obstruct them.
If the watertight bulkheads
should be kept closed and only opened to drain water in the main bilge.

● Know where to find each hand pump and its handle.

● Locate the switch for the electric bilge pump on the electrical panel.

Fresh water is supplied to the sink and washbasins by an electric pump. A filter is installed
upstream of the pump, and must be cleaned regularly.

Never allow the pump to run if the tank is empty. Refill the tank before using the water
supply again.

The tanks can be sterilized using Clonazone® tablets (available from pharmacies). Every year,
remove the inspection covers and clean them by filling with water containing a bactericidal
detergent; leave it to act for a few hours, then rinse two or three times. During wintering, completely
fill the tanks to avoid the development of algae or bacteria. If there is a risk of freezing, empty the
tanks; never use anti-freeze.
Hot water is produced by a water-heater connected to the engine cooling circuit and the shore
electric supply.
After the water-heater has been emptied, make sure that the element is covered before power is
re-applied.

VI. FLOODING

To avoid the risk of flooding the boat:

- Check that portholes, deck hatches, and any other openings that may cause flooding, are closed
before putting to sea.

- While under way, close all seacocks when they are not in use, except for the engine water intake.

- Do not exceed the maximum recommended loading.

- The level of water in the bilges must be kept to a minimum.

- Avoid adding weight in high places so as not to affect the stability.

Periodically check:

- Skin fittings, seacocks and pipes are watertight.

- Proper emptying of the cockpit drains.

- Stern glands or sail-drive seals for watertightness.

WARNING

Cockpit locker covers must be fastened shut before putting to sea. This is particularly
important for lockers with a serious risk of flooding

VII. FIRE PROTECTION

Installation

Since fire extinguishers are subject to national regulations, they are not supplied with the boat.
However, when in use, this boat must be fitted with portable extinguishers with the following
capacities, installed in the following locations (see drawing in appendix):

- No. 1 - cockpit locker, within reach of the helmsman - capacity 1 kg - 5A34B

- No. 2 - saloon banquette (fore) - extinction capacity 1 kg - 5A34B

If you decide to install a carbon dioxide (CO2) extinguisher, be aware that it may only be fitted in
accommodation areas that contain powered electrical equipment (e.g. electric motors, battery
compartments, electrical panels) or flammable liquids (e.g. galley).

Only compatible replacement parts must be used in the fire protection system. They must bear the
same markings and be technically equivalent.

In addition, a fire blanket must be stowed in the aft starboard cabin (in the L-galley version) or near
the cooker, which can be very useful in the case of a cooker fire caused by oil.

Similarly, for safety on deck, a fire bucket equipped with a lanyard must be stored in an
immediately accessible locker.

If non-combustible materials are stored in the engine compartment, they must be secured to avoid
the risk of falling onto the machinery and must not obstruct access to the engine compartment or
its exit.

CAUTION!

It is the responsibility of the owner/skipper to:

● Have fire­regulations in your country.

● Replace fire-fighting equipment if it has expired or been discharged, with extingui
or greater capacity.

● Show members of the crew:

- The location and operation of fire-fighting equipment.

- the location of the engine compartment discharge hole

● Ensure that fire-fighting equipment is readily accessible whenever the boat is occupied.

● Always keep the bilge clean and check that there is no fuel or gas vapour and no fuel leak.

● Indicate escape routes.

You must never:

● Obstruct passageways to the emergency exits (deck hatches).

● Obstruct safety controls (gas valves, fuel valves, electrical switches).

● Obstruct fire extinguisher stowages.

● Leave the boat unattended with a cooker or heater on.

● Use a gas lamp in the boat.

● Fill a fuel tank or change a gas cylinder while the engine is running, or the cooker or heate

compartments not designed for this purpose.

Put the throttle in neutral before starting the engine to keep the boat from moving and/or the
propeller from turning.
On subsequent launches, a brief check of propeller fixing can be made. Incorrect operation of the
folding propeller will lead to vibration.
Regularly check the condition of the anodes and ensure that they are suitable for the boat's
environment (fresh water, salt water). Change the anodes every year. The anodes have an
average life of 1–2 years.
These anodes are made of zinc. You must not use magnesium ones. Impressed current cathodic
protection systems should be avoided.
If the anodes are not eroded, you need to check:

- that they have not been painted over,

- that they are correctly attached and in contact with the hull,

- and that they are indeed made of zinc.

● Avoid contact between flammable materials and hot parts of the engine.

● Clean up any overflow of fuel that may occur when filling the tanks.

You must never:

● Store flammable materials in unventilated spaces.

● Smoke while filling tanks.

● Obstruct ventilation openings (vents, engine air intake grating): make sure they are clear.

● Modify the installation except by a qualified technician.

X. HELM SYSTEM

The steering system plays a vital role in the safety and comfort of your boat.

Helm

The DUFOUR 430 is fitted with a dual wheel with a system of rudder cables and chains as well as
with an emergency tiller.

Checks to be carried out periodically: check the play in the various elements (rudder
stock/bearings, tension and wear in mechanical components) and grease the sprocket and chain if
necessary.

Your system is designed with 6mm stainless steel cable, twisted 7x19. These cables may be
replaced due to wear and fatigue.
The frequency of the change depends on the type of use and the tension and maintenance
conditions that might affect their lifespan.

ENGLISH 26/02/2019 22/92 DUFOUR 430 Grand Large

is fitted with an emergency tiller which must be kept readily accessible; we

Careful examination will reveal any damaged cables. A cloth soaked in machine oil may be used to
wipe along the entire length of the cables.
If you find a broken twist, this means that the cable has reached the end of its lifespan and that you
will need to change it.
The same type of cable (material and diameter) must strictly be used to avoid any risk of breakage
or premature fatigue.

In the event of any doubt or problem, consult your agent.

Emergency tiller

CAUTION!

● The Dufour 430
advise stowing it in one of the nacelle cockpit lockers.

● It is designed only for sailing at reduced speed in the event of damage to the helm.

To use it:

- Unscrew the deck-plate to reveal the head of the rudder stock.

- Fit the tiller onto the head of the rudder stock.

The skipper’s vision from the steering position may be obstructed by one or more of the following
variable conditions:

- Loading and distribution of the load

- Speed

- Sea conditions

- Reduced visibility (due to rain, darkness and fog)

- Reduced visibility (due to changing and raising the sails)

- Lights inside the boat

- Position of awnings or covers

- Moving people or equipment located within the helmsman’s field of vision.

Pay attention when you are moving from one helm position to another.

CAUTION!

Some large size forward sails (Genoa, code 0, spinnakers, etc.) may obstruct vision for a long
time. Keep an active watch while they are in use.

ENGLISH 26/02/2019 24/92 DUFOUR 430 Grand Large

XII. FALL PREVENTION AND MEANS OF GETTING BACK ABOARD

While underway, it is recommended to move about on deck only in areas provided for this
purpose. These areas (side decks, cockpit, coach roof, lateral seats, etc.) are provided with non­skid coverings or teak (optional) to make it safe to move about.

On the DUFOUR 430, the entire working deck inside the guard lines and bulwarks can be used
safely. Passageways have been provided, when necessary, on glass surfaces and are marked by
anti-slip zones.
Note that the aft platform, when open, is not considered as a secure area. Moreover, it must be
kept closed when sailing.

Depending on sea conditions, wind and the degree of heel, it is also recommended that you use
the harness by attaching it to the various attachment points mentioned in the deck fittings plan.
When sailing, use whenever possible the various handholds provided by the helm grab rails,
cockpit table, lateral grab rails on the coach roof, shrouds, etc.

The DUFOUR 430 is equipped with a telescoping emergency ladder fixed to the aft gate. To use it,
lower the aft gate by releasing the hoisting line and then unfold the ladder and pivot it into the
correct position.

A safety ladder is also provided in case of emergency. When the boat is in use, it must be located
on the port or starboard pushpit and must be accessible from the water. Be sure to familiarize
yourself with this system, so that it is operational in any circumstances, including when under sail.

Certain products can also pose a risk to your safety and that of others, which is why it is

Your boat is protected against lightning. The rigging is electrically earthed (grounded).
Nonetheless, for your safety, it is necessary to respect certain precautions.

Maintenance

If the vessel is struck by lightning:

- the protection equipment must be inspected for material damage and the condition

of the system, including the continuity of the earthing, must be checked.

- compasses, electrical and electronic equipment must be inspected to determine if

damage or compass calibration changes have occurred.

Personal protection during thunderstorms

WARNING
During a thunderstorm, it is recommended that you comply with the following instructions:

● People should stay below as much as possible.

● People should stay out of the water and not let their arms or legs hang into the water.

● While ensuring the satisfactory control of the boat and navigation, passengers must not touch

any element connected to a lightning protection installation, especially not in such a way as to
create a bridge between these elements.

● People should avoid touching any metallic parts of the rigging, spars, deck fittings and guard­lines.

XIV. ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION & SAFETY

We recommend that you find out about local regulations concerning the environment and obey
international regulations against pollution in the marine environment (MARPOL), together with the
codes of good practice.
Do not discharge the toilets or the contents of the holding tanks near coasts or in prohibited areas;
use port or marina pumping systems for emptying the holding tanks before leaving port.

● Chemicals must be labelled and stored in an appropriate place on the boat.

ENGLISH 26/02/2019 26/92 DUFOUR 430 Grand Large

XV. SAFETY FACILITIES

There is no harmonization of mandatory safety equipment across the European Community. You
should find out about current national requirements for CE-marked vessels.

In France, the skipper is responsible for ensuring that recreational craft bearing the CE mark carry
the mandatory handling and safety equipment stipulated for the relevant sailing category.

Your boat is equipped with a life raft locker in the transom – direct access after opening the aft
gate. Carefully read the life raft instructions manual. The entire crew must be familiar with the use
of all safety equipment (harnesses, flares, life raft, etc.). Sailing schools and clubs regularly
organise training sessions.

XVI. HANDLING, TRANSPORTING, HAUL-OUT

When craning, take care that the slings are correctly positioned and are not fouling the propeller,
the sail-drive or a fragile transducer.
Lifting frames must be wide enough, or fitted with spreaders, so as to avoid applying excessive
lateral pressure on the rubbing strakes.
Avoid allowing slings to foul the life-lines. During transport or haul-out, the keel should be in proper
contact with its support and should be taking most of the boat’s weight.
Cradle pads must be positioned against structural elements in order to exert only the pressure
necessary for the boat to be properly balanced.
Take advantage of haul-outs to inspect the propeller, rudder, skin fittings and sensors.

CAUTION!

The aft lifting point is located near the propeller.
