Overview
Hinds Taylor Yacht Brokers are delighted to present Touchstone, an exceptional 2016 Dufour 512 Grand Large. This beautifully maintained Dufour 512 has been owned by the same owner from new and represents a rare opportunity to purchase one of the finest examples of this highly sought-after bluewater cruising yacht currently on the market.
Powered by a Volvo Penta D2-75 engine with just 95 hours, Touchstone has seen remarkably light use and benefits from an exceptional specification including retractable variable-speed bow and stern thrusters with remote control, a 10kW Fischer Panda generator, comprehensive Raymarine navigation suite, Eberspächer Hydronic heating, hydraulic bathing platform and Coppercoat applied from new. Recent maintenance includes professionally serviced standing rigging (2024), Coppercoat cleaned and inspected (2024), new bow thruster blades (2024), replacement lazyjacks and composite through-hulls replaced in 2019.
Below decks, the light oak interior creates a bright and contemporary living space, complemented by upgraded upholstery and a practical three-cabin, three en-suite layout. The innovative forward galley, spacious saloon and generous storage throughout make her equally suited to extended cruising or luxurious weekends aboard. On deck, the expansive twin-wheel cockpit features teak decking, a cockpit grill, refrigerator, large sunbed conversion and folding cockpit table, creating an ideal space for entertaining family and friends.
Her sail inventory includes an Elvstrøm fully battened mainsail, furling genoa, self-tacking jib and cruising chute, making her equally capable of effortless short-handed sailing or extended offshore passages. Combining luxury, performance and an exceptional level of specification, Touchstone is a truly turnkey cruising yacht ready for her next owners to step aboard and begin their next adventure.
