Overview

Design and Reputation

This three-cabin cruising yacht from Dufour Yachts offers an excellent balance of space, sailing performance, and practicality. Dufour’s reputation for solid build quality and well-thought-out interiors makes this design a strong choice for family cruising and extended coastal sailing.

Build and Usage

Built in 2010 and commissioned in 2011, this yacht has been used exclusively in UK waters from new. As a result, she has not been exposed to Mediterranean heat or heavy UV, which shows clearly in her condition. Usage has been low throughout, and care has been consistently high.

Interior Condition

The interior is genuinely outstanding and presents in exceptional condition. With a practical three-cabin layout, she offers comfortable accommodation for family or guests, while still feeling light, clean, and well maintained throughout.

Recent Upgrades and Maintenance

This yacht benefits from a strong list of recent upgrades, which significantly enhance both performance and reliability. These include recent sails, a recent saildrive diaphragm, a new sprayhood, and a recent electronics upgrade with an Axiom chartplotter system. In addition, she has been treated with Coppercoat antifouling, reducing ongoing maintenance.

Sailing and Onboard Systems

She is well equipped for comfortable cruising, with diesel heating, a downwind sail, a drop-down bow thruster, and an electric halyard winch. Together, these features make handling easier and extend both the sailing season and cruising range.

Overall Impression

Overall, this is a turnkey, sail-away package that has clearly been looked after by knowledgeable owners. Because the key upgrades are already in place, she represents a straightforward and appealing ownership proposition.
