Dufour Grand Large 405 Just Listed

SV TE RERE is a beautifully maintained Dufour 405 GL that blends performance, comfort, and proven offshore capability. Designed by Umberto Felci and built in 2011, she offers the confidence of a true cruising yacht with the style and livability that make time aboard a pleasure. Fast, balanced, and easy to handle, she is equally suited to coastal cruising or serious passage making.

Owner's words:
I purchased TE RERE in Grenada with the intention of sailing the Caribbean, transiting Panama, and crossing the Pacific. From the beginning, she impressed me as a marine professional with her quality of build, elegant layout, and exceptional onboard comfort. She has been a yacht that inspires trust, whether sailing short-handed, solo, or on long offshore legs.

For two years I sailed her extensively through the Windward Islands, where she consistently delivered 8-10 knots in trade wind conditions and handled daily passages of 150-200 nautical miles with ease. Her sail plan is powerful yet well balanced, and she responds positively and predictably to trim and helm input. Crossing the Pacific confirmed her capability: all lines led aft, a strong autopilot system, and excellent cockpit ergonomics made solo and short-handed sailing highly manageable.

Below decks, TE RERE offers a warm and practical home at sea, with generous space, good storage, and a layout that works beautifully for extended cruising. She has also proven her comfort and stability in French Polynesia, Tonga, Fiji, and New Zealand, where she has continued to attract admiration for both her appearance and her ability.
