Broker comments
The Dufour 425 Grand Large is said to be "Perfect elegance for the demanding owner". 'Shirley Irene' is a lovely example of these yachts with plenty of accommodation, sleeping up to eight people when required. She has a good inventory and would be a perfect choice for a family or couple, who like sailing in company, that might be looking to broaden their sailing horizons.
