All about Dufour 425 model
At almost 13m long and 4.16m wide with a very wide stern, the Dufour 425 is a liveaboard sailing super yacht built by the Dufour shipyards in Périgny, in the Charente Maritime region of France. The Dufour shipyard began updating its range of cruisers in 2005.
Designed by Italian architect Umberto Felci, the 425 pre-empted the most popular sailboat trends still in vogue today: chines, straight bow, hull portholes, zenithal portholes, tapered roof, taut lines. One thing is certain: the 425 is sure to retain a youthful appearance for years to come.
The internal 1.97m headroom is impressive, as is the forward cabin complete with island bed and solid bed frame. The vacuum-infused hull has laminated floor timbers in the interior and a deck with a balsa wood core. Two keel versions (1.70m and 2.10m draughts) add a certain stiffness to the canvas even if the boat remains a family cruiser, which suits its name "Grand Large" well, intended for Dufour cruisers. Rigged as a sloop, the Dufour 425 has a 115% genoa and a semi-fixed mainsail on lazy-jack and lazy-bag as standard.
The deck layout has two steering wheels and while genoa winches are well within the helmsman's reach, the genoa winches on the roof, on the other side of the large cockpit, do not make it easy to manoeuvre the boat alone or in bad weather. The Dufour 382 is powered by a 40hp sail drive and has an upwind sail area of 84m2, enough to make this spacious toy dynamic.
