44'3' Dufour 445 Grand Large

Superior Escape is a lightly used FRESH WATER 2012 Dufour 445 Grand Large. This spacious three cabin with two head layout is like new and available at a used boat price. Often it’s an evenhanded blend of design attributes rather than extreme features that make for a good sailboat. The Dufour 445 Grand Large offers just such a combination of moderate draft, displacement, sail area and freeboard. The result is an easy–to-handle, good-looking cruiser-racer, All on an elegant and versatile platform that begs for the open sea. King size galley, saloon and chart table, many details that simplify life on board – even bilges are used for some dedicated storage. A big cockpit, many large and handy outside lockers, including a forward sail locker. Quality, nobleness of materials and elegance makes Dufour trademark.
