The Dufour 412 Grande Large may be one of the best laid out boats of its size and type. ï¿½ï¿½From bow to stern and below, the boatï¿½s features and function make both sailing and social time aboard a pleasure.ï¿½ ï¿½

Some of the great features that Dufour incorporated into the 412ï¿½s design includes a full stern galley, comfortable and safe twin helm stations, nice sized cockpit table, cockpit seats that convert to twin sized day beds (who doesnï¿½t dream of sleeping in the cockpit), full cabin width traveler for better sail control, reduced height gooseneck for easy main sail access and storage, large anchor locker, and bow sprit.ï¿½ Below decks the design includes an easy to access large and low pullman style master, a compression post forward to open up salon, large skylight to bring in the sun, starboard settee that converts to twin seats with a table or 6ï¿½+ single, spacious U shaped dinette, very large walk in shower with wrap around teak seating, highly functional galley with lots of storage and refrigeration, spacious aft cabin.

La Vie Charmante has led a charmed life. She is a nicely equipped 2 cabin version that was thoughtfully optioned at the start and has been professionally managed since new.ï¿½ Her owners have maintained her with an open checkbook and it shows.ï¿½ Her use has been very light and primarily limited to day sailing and life at the dock in and around Annapolis.

If youï¿½re looking to inherit a beautifully maintained and well-equipped cruising boat that looks as close to new as any 2016 youï¿½ll ever see, then La Vie Charmante demands your attention.
