43' | Dufour 430 GL | 2020 ⛵
The Dufour 430, part of Dufour's acclaimed 'Grand Large' series, has earned a reputation as one of the finest all-around performance cruisers in her class, offering an exceptional balance of sailing performance, comfort, and innovative design. Built in La Rochelle, France and designed by renowned Italian naval architect Umberto Felci of Felci Yacht Design, she delivers the quality, performance, and craftsmanship Dufour has become known for.
Privately owned and never chartered, this beautifully equipped 2020 model features the highly desirable 3 Cabin / 2 Head Owner's Version layout with separate shower stalls in both heads. The twin helm cockpit provides excellent visibility under sail while creating an exceptional space for entertaining at the dock or anchor. Combined with Dufour's signature outdoor galley, large fold-down swim platform, and wide beam carried well aft, the 430 offers an outstanding blend of sailing performance, comfort, and entertaining space.
Dufour 430s rarely become available on the brokerage market in the United States, making this exceptionally well-equipped example a unique opportunity for buyers looking to purchase locally.
With nearly 1,000 square feet of working sail area, a Furling Code 0 for outstanding light-air performance, and CE Category A Ocean certification, this yacht is equally at home sailing to Catalina for the weekend, cruising the California coast, or exploring the Sea of Cortez and beyond.
What really sets this Dufour apart is how well she's equipped. Whether you're leaving the dock with just two people aboard or spending a week cruising Catalina or the Sea of Cortez, the combination of the Furling Code 0 spinnaker, electric winches, retractable bow thruster, upgraded Raymarine electronics, and thoughtful cruising upgrades make this a yacht that's enjoyable to sail and easy to own.
