“Avatara” is a beautifully-maintained one-owner example of the Dufour 405 Grand Large, thoughtfully upgraded and offered in great condition throughout.

Built in 2010, she features the popular 3-cabin, 2-head layout, offering comfortable accommodation, a spacious saloon and a twin helm cockpit. Designed by Umberto Felci and built by Dufour Yachts in La Rochelle, the 405 Grand Large was named European Yacht of the Year in 2010 and has earned a reputation as a capable, balanced cruiser for both coastal and offshore sailing.

“Avatara” has been carefully looked after by her owner and has benefitted from an extensive schedule of maintenance and upgrades, including a full rig replacement, updated electronics, new sails, and more. She is UK VAT paid, and is ready for her next owner to step aboard and go sailing.
