Dufour 512 Grand Large Second Wind

2016 Dufour 512 Grand Large

Universal Yachting are pleased to offer "Second Wind" this stunning 2016 Dufour 512 Grand Large to the brokerage market. Supplied new by us with a comprehensive specification and maintained to a high standard, she features the popular three-cabin layout with ensuite heads and finished with the light oak interior.

Comprehensively equipped from new and thoughtfully upgraded throughout her life, she boasts a myriad of extras, making her a formidable Bluewater cruiser while still being tame, easy to handle and comfortable. The 512 offers the perfect balance, every bit as at home socialising and hosting a BBQ in the marina as she is crossing the Atlantic.

"Second Wind" comes with bow and stern thrusters, a generator, heating, and a cockpit enclosure, to name just a few of her options.

Recently arrived in Hamble, she is ready for viewing.

Please contact us if you have any questions or to arrange a viewing.

Brokers Comments

Second Wind is a great example of the Dufour 512 Grand Large, one of the best bluewater cruisers in her class. The three-cabin layout with en-suite heads is perfect for families or groups wanting privacy without compromise.

Handling is straightforward with the bow and stern thrusters, making her very manageable even short-handed. Add in the generator, air conditioning, heating, and cockpit enclosure, and you’ve got a yacht that’s comfortable whatever the weather or destination.

She’s been looked after by her original owner and regularly maintained — the low engine hours tell their own story. Whether you’re looking to cruise the South Coast or venture further afield, Second Wind is ready to deliver.
