Pace, Grace, Space. Step up the next rung on the ladder to the Dufour 450 Grand Large, a true performance cruiser with a fantastic turn of speed in a sensational, stylish French package. Take the trophy home from around-the-cans regattas, then load her up with provisions for extended cruising. Enjoy fast, comfortable, rewarding passages in the protected cockpit with the twin helms and bimini and dodger to keep you out of the weather, then drop anchor in close to those remote island anchorages with her shallow draft keel. Fold down the transom to convert into a large bathing platform to enjoy marvelous access to the water, then rinse off with the hot-and-cold transom shower. Then the comfortable cockpit with drop leaf table provides the perfect setting for sundowners and hors d'oeuvre with guests before dinner as the sun sinks into the ocean. Rinse and repeat. This yacht has an enviable twilight racing record, while still retaining all the volume of Beneteau, Jeanneau and Bavaria to enjoy sumptuous accommodations, with master en-suite stateroom forward, 2 double guest staterooms and day head aft, and a well outfitted galley with Corian countertops optimally located for motion at sea and inclusion in the social fabric of the boat. The saloon table converts to a 4th double for guests or lounging, windows and hatches abound for a light, airy cabin and splendid views of the water, teak inlays grace the cockpit seats, and storage space is plentiful to take the toys and gear along. ● Upgraded 75 HP Volvo ● 3 blade feathering prop ● Electric primary winches ● 3 burner Force stove with oven ● Electric heads ● Solar panels top up 400 AH near-new battery bank ● Prodder and spinnaker pole Your dream becomes reality in this late-model, beautifully stylish French performance cruiser.
