The 3 cabin’s bareboat sailing yacht Dufour 405 GL was built in 2009 and it is docked in La Trinité-sur-Mer, France. The Dufour 405 GL (2009) can accommodate up to 6 people in 3 cabins and it has 2 toilets. The overall length of the boat is 40 ft / 12,2 m. The main equipment (find the complete list on the ’Equipments’ tab): inverter, autopilot, bimini top, air condition, GPS chart plotter, electric anchor windlass, swimming ladder, cockpit table and it’s obligatory extras: handling fees, final cleaning. The main sail is classic/standard. You can check-in from 14:00 h and check-out until 08:00 h.
Why charter this Dufour 405 GL
3 cabins for 6 berths means about 2 guests per cabin, so bag storage and sleeping turns are clear before departure. 3 guests per head matters on early marina mornings, when showers, breakfast and casting off compete for time. At 12,2 m, this sailing yacht works best when swim stops still leave time for the evening berth.
Best charter fit
Dufour 405 GL suits crews comparing cabin separation, luggage storage and bathroom timing across 3 cabins and 2 heads. Sailing crews should keep one fallback leg for wind shifts, late sea state and the final marina return.
Quiberon Bay and the Morbihan from La Trinité
La Trinité opens onto Quiberon Bay and the tide-swept Gulf of Morbihan, an inland sea of islands and fierce currents that is the real character of a week here. Getting the tide right through its narrow mouth matters more than the miles. After handover, the first hop is timed for a fair ebb out of the Trinité river, with Houat or Hoëdic the natural place to bring up. Nantes Atlantique (NTE) and Lorient (LRT) airports are each a road transfer, whichever suits the marina better. The bay, the cliffs of Belle-Île and the Morbihan are a week of tide-planned legs, the Belle-Île crossing set for slack water, so plan the turnaround early enough that a foul tide cannot pin the last leg. The Glénan islands and the Lorient coast are the longer, more exposed run, one to save for more than a week.
