Dufour 525 Grand Large

This magnificent Dufour 525 Grand Large is characterized by a unique level of autonomy and impeccable maintenance. Unlike other models on the market, all critical systems (engine, sails, energy, electronics) have been recently refurbished or overhauled. You just need to cast off the lines.

HIGHLIGHTS
Total Energy Autonomy (Generator Set): 1200W solar panels (700W on the arch + 500W flexible) coupled with a wind turbine and a recent Gel battery bank (2023). Paired with a Dessalator desalinator (60L/h), live at anchor with complete independence.
Mechanical Serenity: Volvo 75hp engine (1925h) fully refitted (new injectors, heat exchangers, and major maintenance up to date). Marine electrical system optimized with new charger and splitters from Victron/Cristec (September 2025).
Ease of Short-handed Maneuvering: Electric genoa furling from Bamar, 3 electric winches (halyards and sheets), and a Max Power bow thruster for stress-free arrivals at port.
Revised Elvstrom wardrobe: Full Batten mainsail, Genoa, and Staysail (2020) completely overhauled in March 2026. An asymmetrical spinnaker of 180 m² with sock completes the set.
"Home-like" Comfort: Dometic air conditioning and heating, Kenwood washing machine, dishwasher, well-equipped galley, and recent upholstery (2020).
Premium Dinghy Equipment: Highfield semi-rigid dinghy 2.90 m (2024) on chocks, powered by an 8hp 4-stroke Yamaha.
