Description

With its elegant lines and robust construction, this 2011 Dufour 525 Grand Large offers a great opportunity to acquire a well-maintained performance cruiser in the Pacific Northwest. Designed for comfortable long-distance cruising, the Dufour 525GL blends thoughtful ergonomics with capable seakeeping. Her sail plan provides great upwind and off-wind performance, while the deep keel means excellent stability. "La Chiricana" is ideally suited for exploring the diverse waters of the Pacific Northwest, from the protected anchorages of the San Juan Islands to the more open reaches of the British Columbia coast.


She features an expansive deck layout, designed for both ease of handling and entertaining including a cockpit with ample seating and aft-led control lines for easy shorthanded sailing. Below deck, the Dufour 525 Grand Large offers a spacious interior with excellent natural light.

Gently sloping stairs allow easy access below deck. The interior is a beautiful, rich mahogany with off-white faux-leather cushions and is bright and airy. Headroom varies from 6'3" in the berths to 6'5" in the saloon.


At the foot of the companionway stairs to port is a large galley with double sink, 3-burner propane stove with oven, front-loading refrigerator, two top-loading freezers, and generous cabinet and drawer storage. To the starboard side is a very large nav station and full electrical panel including Raymarine C-90 chartplotter, VHF, and entertainment system.


Immediately aft of the nav station is the guest head with marine toilet, sink, and shower. The two large guest berths are aft of the head to starboard and aft of the galley to port. Both have new mattresses, sheets, and comforters and lots of storage.


Forward of the companionway stairs is a spacious, bright saloon. To starboard is a large dining table with U-shaped seating and an opposing bench seat. On the port side is a single long bench seat. Hatches and upper & mid-level windows provide exceptional light to the interior. There is ample storage throughout the saloon including two lower cabinets just aft of the bulkhead into the owner's cabin.


The spacious owner's berth features a central queen-size pedestal bed (again, with a new mattress and bedding), bench seat, small desk, below-berth drawers, and upper & lower cabinets. The head in the owner's berth is large with marine toilet, sink, and shower stall.
