For sale: Dufour 520 — a modern performance-cruiser that blends refined yachtbuilding with practical, comfortable accommodation. This example has been carefully maintained and presents as a turnkey platform for coastal cruising and extended passages alike. The hull form and sailplan are engineered to deliver responsive, stable performance while keeping onboard motion comfortable for owners and guests.
Deck layout is organised for safe, efficient sail handling and social use. Twin helm stations provide excellent visibility and control, while control lines are led aft to the cockpit for short-handed sailing. Wide side decks and secure handholds make moving forward easy. A generous cockpit offers protected seating and easy access to a fold-down transom/swim platform that extends usable living space at anchor.
The interior is bright and intelligently laid out to maximise volume and comfort. Panoramic glazing floods the saloon with natural light; a well-laid-out galley with substantial storage, workspace and secure provisions arrangement makes meal preparation straightforward underway. Multiple cabin configurations are available on the model — typically a full-beam owner’s cabin plus guest cabins — each with comfortable berths and ample locker space. Separate heads and proper ventilation contribute to liveaboard comfort.
Systems are configured for practical cruising: robust inboard propulsion, efficient sail handling hardware, a complete electrical system with shore power integration, and modern navigation/electronics that can include chartplotter, autopilot, and instrument suite. Tankage, tankage instrumentation and service access are designed for extended cruising needs.
This Dufour 520 offers a blend of performance, thoughtful ergonomics and comfortable interior volume characteristic of the model. It’s ideal for owners seeking a capable cruiser that still rewards a sailor with satisfying performance under sail. Contact us to arrange a detailed specification sheet, photo pack and sea trial — we’ll be happy to provide full technical documentation and discuss recent maintenance history.
