Dufour 325 Grand Large

The Dufour 325 Grand Large is a modern, spacious 32-foot sailing yacht. This Dufour 325 GL has been well looked after and is fitted with a tiller and a self-tacking jib.

The Dufour 325 GL is a modern, spacious sailing yacht from the French manufacturer Dufour, designed by Umberto Felci and Patrick Roseo. It features the layout commonly found on modern yachts, with a spacious cabin aft, a forepeak and, in between, the spacious saloon. In front of the aft cabin is a forward-facing galley, and on the starboard side by the companionway is the toilet, easily accessible from all other areas, not least from the cockpit.

The cockpit is spacious and family-friendly. On this Dufour, the cockpit is particularly spacious in harbour and highly functional whilst sailing, even with a small crew, thanks to the boat’s tiller. The tiller is among the larger and sturdier models, providing excellent control whilst sailing and staying out of the way in harbour. The autopilot is mounted on the rudder stock, which makes everything even more convenient. The mainsheet, positioned directly in front of the helmsman, makes the boat easy to sail with a small crew or entirely on your own. The cockpit is teak-clad, and aft of the helmsman there is easy access to the swim platform.

At the bow of the boat there is an elegant bow sprit which, amongst other things, makes boarding easier. In short, the boat has most of what you need for a comfortable and carefree life on the water, including a cockpit tent, diesel heater, bow windlass, solar panel, and newer, high-quality sails from North Sails. The boat is equipped with both a genoa and a self-tacking jib, as well as a gennaker on a ProFurl curler. Everything is well catered for when sailing on all points of sail. The boat also has a shallower keel, which means it can access places where most boats cannot go. The righting moment remains the same, thanks to a more substantial bulb on the keel compared to the deeper keel option.

Here is an opportunity to acquire a boat and be ready for an early start next season.
