Dufour 335 Grand Large Buyer's Guide
The Dufour 335 Grand Large is a cruiser from the Grand Large family, offered with a fractional rig and a fiberglass sandwich hull. On the used market she appears as a two-cabin, six-berth boat with a CE Class A (Ocean) rating, a sensible candidate for a couple or small family intending coastal cruising with the occasional offshore leg.
Layouts on the Used Market
Used examples follow the accommodation plan: two total cabins with a four-to-six berth arrangement, a single bathroom, and one wc. The fresh-water tank holds 220 liters and the fuel tank 160 liters, and the installed engine is rated at 40 hp with a saildrive. The shoal 1.55-meter keel and the deeper 1.90-meter iron L-keel were both built, so a buyer should confirm which is under the hull before judging marina access.
Equipment and Common Upgrades
The propulsion is a 40 hp diesel with saildrive transmission and 160-liter fuel capacity. A Volvo Penta diesel with a saildrive is the noted propulsion, and the sail inventory should be checked against the fractional rig's documented halyard and sheet lengths rather than assumed.
What to Inspect
The keel is the first item to verify. The L-shape fin keel is an iron bulb, and on a used hull that means checking the iron for rust staining or blistering at the hull joint, since iron keels weep if their coating has failed. Confirm the actual draft by measuring or reading the keel stamp, because the deep version at about 1.90 to 2.00 meters limits her to major marinas while the shoal at 1.55 to 1.65 meters enters most. The saildrive leg should be inspected for diaphragm condition and oil weepage, as a failed seal floods the boat. The sandwich fiberglass hull improves the indoor climate, but a buyer should still sound the topsides for delamination and check the interior for persistent dampness that would contradict that property.
Availability and Buyer's Takeaway
Before committing, a shopper should:
- Confirm keel type and measure actual draft
- Inspect iron keel for coating failure and rust
- Check saildrive seal and transmission oil
- Sound the sandwich hull for delamination
- Verify six-berth, two-cabin layout matches needs
