Dufour 390 Grand Large Buyer's Guide
Shopping the brokerage market for a Dufour 390 Grand Large means looking at a Felci-designed Grand Large cruiser introduced after the 2018 brand acquisition, with ex-charter examples common and both owner three-cabin and alternative layouts available. The boat’s open-mold hull and modular interior make it a realistic candidate for continued cruising use, but buyers should focus on a few documented details rather than market myth.
Layouts on the Used Market
Owner three-cabin layouts are the more common on the used market, but both are available; ex-charter examples are common. Factory layouts span a three-cabin two-heads version, a stern athwartships double, a three-cabin three-heads arrangement with linear galley to port, and a later single-head option. Joinery is Moabi as standard with teak or light oak seen, and the chart table lowers to extend the port settee berth. An enormous lazarette under the port seat and half-depth cockpit lockers each side are consistent features regardless of layout choice.
Equipment and Common Upgrades
A swim platform, autopilot, self-tacking jib, chartplotter, furling main and bimini are commonly fitted. Often seen are bow thruster, hot water, life raft, cockpit shower and AIS. Less commonly, as owner upgrades or options, are inverter, teak decks, heating, solar, gennaker and electric winches. The drop-down transom with integral telescoping swim ladder, life raft locker, grill and sink is a standard design element, and the fixed sprit keeps the anchor away from the plumb stem. A folding cockpit table with built-in ice chest and a sturdy central table with small-item stowage are present; Facnor FlatDeck furling for a 108% headsail and a bifurcated backstay stay on the options list.
What to Inspect
The documented headsail tracks are too short with overlapping genoa, so check for owner modifications or shortened sail ranges. The non-slip finish is less grippy than some, worth evaluating for worn decks. Lift the cabin sole to confirm the stiffening matrix and stainless steel backing plates for the keel bolts are intact, and verify the hand-laid solid laminate hull with NPG resin shows no issues at the keel-bolt interface.
Availability and Buyer's Takeaway
These boats typically appear in France, Italy, Croatia, United States, British Virgin Islands and United Kingdom. For a used Dufour 390 Grand Large buyer the short checklist is: confirm layout matches intended use among the three-cabin, stern-double or three-heads versions; verify the self-draining chain locker and electric windlass; inspect keel-bolt backing plates; and assess headsail-track limits before committing to an overlapping-genoa sail plan.
