A well-equipped Dufour 425 Grand Large suitable for cruising, with recent upgrades including the mainsail, batteries, heating, and safety equipment. Its spacious interior and dual steering wheel cockpit make it a model to consider for coastal or offshore cruising programs.
The 2007 Dufour 425 Grand Large is a 12.90 m cruiser designed by Umberto Felci and Patrick Roséo. This model combines a bright, spacious interior with a generous dual steering wheel cockpit designed for cruising and living aboard. Test reviews highlight its interior volume, practical cockpit, and balanced sailing behavior. The Dufour 425 Grand Large is designed as a versatile cruising sailboat, offering a good compromise between comfort and sailing qualities.
