2016 Dufour 512 GL

"Alliance" is a fine example of this very successful Dufour model. This 512 GL is owned by a very experienced boating couple that has maintained her to the highest standards. This 512 was ordered with many factory upgrades, including the Grand Prix Package. 

The Dufour 512 GL offers spacious accommodations with three cabins and three heads, perfect for comfortable living aboard. A true performance cruiser, this boat is perfect for entertaining friends and family, cruising, or club racing. Her three zone air-conditioning and reverse cycle heat keeps the salon and cabins very comfortable throughout the seasons. 

 If you are considering a sailing yacht in this range, do yourself a favor and make arrangements to get aboard for a first-hand look.
