Dufour 410 ‘Ruby’ For Sale Australia

‘Ruby’ is a 2013 Dufour 410 Grand Large listed exclusively for sale with YOTI on Pittwater. https://www.yoti.com.au/listing/dufour-410-grand-large-ruby Ruby is a well-specified and thoughtfully upgraded Dufour 410 Grand Large, offering an excellent balance of performance, comfort, and ease of handling. Designed by Umberto Felci, the 410GL is widely regarded for its powerful yet forgiving hull form, generous cockpit, and impressive interior volume, making it a standout cruiser in this size range. The hull features pronounced chines, enhancing initial stability, water flow, and sailing performance while maintaining the comfortable motion expected of a true cruising yacht. Ruby is a one-owner yacht, originally specified for Australian conditions and carefully maintained throughout her ownership. The current owner has taken a considered approach to both equipment selection and ongoing care, resulting in a yacht that presents in excellent condition and is well set up for continued cruising. On deck, Ruby is configured for easy short-handed sailing, with twin helm stations, excellent visibility, and a clean, functional cockpit layout. A notable feature of this model is the lower boom height, allowing safer and easier access to the sails a practical advantage often appreciated by cruising couples and families. The sail inventory is a real highlight, featuring a North fully-battened mainsail and North genoa (headsail replaced April 2022), complemented by a Code Zero on a furler and a gennaker on a snuffer, providing excellent performance across a wide range of conditions. Close-quarters handling is made straightforward with a Side-Power drop-down bow thruster, serviced in December 2025. Down below, the three-cabin layout offers impressive space and comfort for family cruising or extended stays onboard. The saloon is bright and welcoming, finished in a beautifully toned interior woodwork that remains in excellent condition. Generous seating, comfortable upholstery, and a well-appointed galley, including a large top-opening fridge, make life aboard both practical and enjoyable. Power is provided by a Volvo Penta D2-55 saildrive engine, recently serviced in December 2025, including the saildrive, offering peace of mind for the next owner. She was recently hauled out in January 2026 and received a full anti-foul, propspeed, topside/cabintop and deck polish. With quality cruising upgrades, modern electronics including a B&G chartplotter with AIS, and a well-maintained overall presentation, Ruby represents an excellent opportunity to secure a capable, comfortable, and proven cruising yacht. Equally suited to coastal cruising, longer passages, or relaxed weekends on the water, Ruby has cruised the East Coast of Australia and is ready to continue her next chapter.
