Description

The Dufour 405 Grand Large was conceived to deliver maximum comfort and security under sail, combined with clean deck layouts and elegant, modern lines. In 2010, she was awarded European Yacht of the Year in the family cruising category, recognised for combining strong sailing performance with a generous cockpit and a spacious, practical interior. Under sail, the Dufour 405 is easy to handle and well balanced. ‘Jelly Bean’ is fitted with a fully battened mainsail, furling jib, and a furling Code 0, offering flexibility across a wide range of conditions. Importantly, all lines are led aft to the cockpit, which makes short-handed sailing straightforward and relaxed. Below deck, the yacht features the preferred three-cabin layout. This includes day heads aft and an en-suite heads for the forward owner’s cabin, creating a practical and comfortable arrangement for family cruising or guests. The interior is bright, well proportioned, and designed for extended time aboard. ‘Jelly Bean’ has been in current ownership for over ten years and has clearly been well cared for throughout. During this time, the yacht has benefited from consistent maintenance and sensible upgrades. Standing rigging was replaced in 2022, machinery has been regularly serviced, and the saildrive diaphragm was replaced in 2025. As a result, she presents as a well-sorted and reliable cruising yacht. Overall, this Dufour 405 is offered in turnkey, sail-away condition. Because the key maintenance items are already completed, she represents a straightforward ownership proposition for her next owners. The yacht is currently afloat in her marina berth at Mercury Marina and available for viewing by appointment. Please contact our Falmouth office on 01326 313413 for further information or to arrange a viewing. This is a boat that feels properly lived with rather than simply owned. ‘Jelly Bean’ has clearly been enjoyed over a long period, and the condition reflects steady, thoughtful care rather than rushed upgrades. The sailing setup is particularly appealing, everything falls easily to hand, which makes her feel calm and manageable even when sailing short-handed. She’s not trying to be flashy or over-specified; instead, she offers exactly what most cruising sailors actually want. For anyone looking for a proven, comfortable family cruiser with a strong ownership history, this Dufour 405 makes a lot of sense.
