Dufour 325 Grand Large

XBOAT ref :6200.
my Dufour 325 a fast cruiser, well-built and seaworthy. It will suit sailors looking for an easy-to-handle, fast, and secure cruising sailboat.
Limited edition "ARPEGE".
It is a first-hand vessel, and I have never chartered it.
Renowned marine qualities and construction (all nautical literature attests to this).
The genoa was renovated in 2022, and the mainsail along with the lazy bag and lazy jack were renewed in 2024. The standing rigging is in good condition. The main anchor with electric windlass, 30 meters of chain, and 10m rope.
Spade rudder, Raymarine autopilot, log, depth sounder, wind speed indicator, VHF.
Volvo 19 HP engine with Sail-Drive transmission. Exhaust elbow and exhaust manifold replaced in 2025. Antifouling applied each spring, latest June 2025.
Our sailboat is designed for comfortable extended family cruises:
- 2 double cabins with additional porthole at the rear, sliding door at the front, and 3 berths in the salon.
- The salon and cockpit tables can seat up to 8 guests.
- Kitchen with 2 burners, oven, fridge with 3 ice compartments, extra storage, and seawater pressurized sink (kitchen powered by 2 Butagaz cylinders).
- Washbasin, shower, electric toilet renewed in 2024, seacock replaced in 2025. Black water tank.
- Water heater on 220V or engine circuit.
- Reorganized cockpit locker (more accessible storage, cockpit table, and aft berth transversally arranged 140x200).
- Solar panels mounted on RollBar (2 x 180W with charge regulator).
- One engine battery and 2 deep-cycle service batteries.
- LED lighting, WiFi outlets, and 12V outlets throughout the boat.
The deck and cockpit are very well organized. Movement is easy, whether passing forward or maneuvering in the cockpit. The cockpit is designed to facilitate maneuvers with a reduced crew or even single-handed. My Dufour features a wheel steering, the mainsheet is attached at the rear of the cockpit, and the mainsail outhaul can be quickly installed or removed, fully freeing the cockpit.
In short, the Dufour 325 is a secure sailboat, both in construction and in behavior at sea. The sailboat clearly prefers stronger winds. It remains very well balanced at all times.
The layout of the Dufour 325 Grand Large is well thought out. Easy circulation inside for 4 people on board. The two cabins are spacious and very comfortable at sea. I installed two 180W solar panels on a arch, providing perfect electrical autonomy at sea.
Headroom is 1.87m under the companionway. More information and photos on the website xboat.fr
