Description
Mon Confidant is a lovely example of the highly renowned and coveted Dufour 405 Grand Large
Now covered and put away for the winter - viewings resume in April 2025
From the design board of Felci Yacht Design the 405 stands out from the crowd with beautifully drawn lines, excellent ergonomics above and below, consistently superior Felci sailing performance and Dufour's commitment to quality.
Mon Confidant was purchased new in 2014 and is a one-owner boat, always sailed on Lake Ontario.
She has the following major factory options:
> Liberty Package
> in-mast furling mainsail,
> shallow draft fin with bulb keel,
> 55 hp Volvo Penta saildrive,
> teak clad cockpit floor and swim platform deck,
> teak clad coachroof between sprayhood and foredeck.
The new North Sails 3Di mainsail with vertical battens has arrived
She has the standard 2 cabin and 2 heads layout, with a massive drop-in / walk-in cockpit locker to starboard. The stateroom forward has an Island queen bed and head, with lots of storage and lots of natural light. The salon is spacious, featuring a dinette and opposing lounge chairs with table between, convertible to settee/single berth. The L-shape galley on starboard is separated from the lounge seating by a massive top and front opening fridge and freezer. The aft head with shower is between the aft cabin and dinette on the port side. Joinery and veneers are Moabi and the sole is Moabi laminate.
The ambience below is of efficient elegance.
She has been professionally maintained mechanically and the deck is detailed and cleaned bi-weekly by club professional staff.
