Description

2001 Dufour 43 CC – Proven Offshore Cruiser, Ocean-Ready

Designed for serious bluewater sailing, this Dufour 43 Centre Cockpit is a rare find on the market. Currently in Leros, Greece, she is offered with a transferable berth valid until June 2025. With extensive ocean miles under her keel, she has been meticulously maintained and consistently upgraded, ensuring reliability on long passages.

Her solid GRP hull, fin keel, and teak decking provide a strong and stylish foundation. The Volvo MD22P 50HP engine with saildrive ensures dependable propulsion. The sail inventory includes a 130% Kemp genoa (new in 2019), an Elvstrom Sobstad mainsail, and a spinnaker, delivering balanced performance in all conditions. A full rigging replacement in 2017 before her voyage from the UK to the Mediterranean ensures her readiness for serious offshore cruising.

For self-sufficiency, she features a generator, solar panels, inverter, and four new leisure batteries. The high-spec navigation suite includes a B& G chart plotter, AIS receiver, autopilot, and Furuno radar, providing confidence on extended passages.

A comfortable and seaworthy yacht, she offers three spacious cabins, two heads, and a saloon table that converts into an additional berth, making her ideal for extended cruising. On deck, the bimini, sprayhood, and cockpit table enhance practicality, while the Yamaha big tube dinghy and Honda outboard provide independence at anchor.

The condition or level of safety equipment on board is not to be negotiated on following survey. It is likely to be listed by most surveyors but is not structural or an integral working part of the vessel and is not to be used to further negotiate the price down after survey. We strongly suggest that for your own personal safety that when purchasing a yacht you provide new safety equipment rather than relying on second hand gear.

Should you become the new owner of this yacht then the responsibility to re-register or update official bodies for items such as EPIRB, VHF, MMSI or AIS becomes yours.
