NOW SOLD but a very interesting video to watch if you seek inspiration on how to fit out a similar boat for live-aboard living and independent world cruising.
On my knees Anna she's beautiful just like the owners what a beautiful couple they've cared for that boat and it shows on your video just how much care and attention she has had done to her a true family home but if they care too donate her for a couple of years then I'm your man I can dream aye
We are looking for Liveaboard. Very beautiful vessel. My husband and I are presently searching and selling our home to Liveaboard. Your much loved, cared for home is perfect:) … lol perhaps the perfect one for us. Thank you for the great presentation. Still available?
Impressive video! Congratulations. We have the same boat: a Dufour 485 GL from 2008 and I have a technical question…. I need to replace the rudder bearings and I am looking for information where I can get new bearings and how it works to do the replacement. I wonder if you could give me some information, for which I thank you in advance. My name is Karel Van Pelt (Belgium) and I would love to come in contact with you.
Hi Karel, Rudder bearings for spade rudders usually last only 6-10 years, or less depending on the manufacturer. You will need to check with your local Dufour dealer as your bearings may be very different from the one on this boat, even if they are the same model. They may have used Jeffa, or Harken, or someone other brand. The local Dufour team will definitely be able to help, but please email us if not.
@@NautilusYachtManagement thank you so much for your prompt reply and I am happy to take your advice of contacting a Dufour dealer. And I will keep you posted. 🙏
In California USA. Love Dufours. There has been a 485 in the USA for sale for many months. Had a surveyor do a walk through and he got off almost as fast as he got on. Oh well. Is this boat still available?
My goodness, must hurt to sell this beauty ... why ? I would buy it right away, if ... - you can trust this owner and his and her way of maintain her !
