About the DUFOUR 325 GRAND LARGE
shallow draft vers. 1.55M / 5.09'
Designed by Umberto Felci and built by Dufour in France, the Dufour 325 Grand Large was produced in 2005. This fractional sloop offers a balanced performance profile with a displacement of 10362.0 lb and a comfort ratio of 21.71, positioning it as a capable cruiser-racer from the mid-2000s.
- Best for:
- This boat suits coastal cruisers and weekend sailors who prioritize interior volume and ease of handling, particularly those interested in single-handed or short-handed sailing due to its fractional rig and manageable displacement.
- Bluewater capability:
- With a capsize ratio of 2.05 and a displacement of 10362.0 lb, the boat is suitable for protected coastal passages and moderate offshore cruising, though its light displacement and fin keel suggest it is not optimized for heavy-weather bluewater expeditions.
- Comparables:
- Comparable boats include the Beneteau First 32.7 and the Jeanneau Sun Odyssey 32, as they share similar production eras, fractional sloop rigs, and a focus on performance-oriented cruising with spacious interiors.
