Dufour 425 Grand'large: 2008 Award winner in the category of sailing yachts over 10 m
"The Dufour 425 has been produced for the long distance cruising market and has features which make it strong, comfortable and easy to handle. Although the cruisers are heavier, have more room and carry less sail than Dufour's performance models, the 425 is quick. A popular feature for the cruiser market is the abundance of stowage in every available bit of space. Adding to its liveability, the Dufour internal finish on fixtures and furnishings is high quality, with extensive use of solid timber. The interior also is light and airy with plenty of hatches, ports and ventilators to enhance life on-board."

Deborah RADCLIFFE reports:
"I was totally impressed by her handling - so stable and balanced..."
"... the Dufour 425 is so responsive, you simply don't feel the picking up of speed!"
"Her styling is chic and classic - with typical French touches - conical lampshades, designer tap fitments , "marbled" tops to the surface on the capacious heads..." Nov/Dec 07
