Dreamweaver 3 is a three cabin, two heads version of what is a much admired and well constructed Grand Large. French manufacturer Dufour have provided the 425 with a plumb bow, good sail plan, Twaron reinforced hull/keel, 2,440kg bulb ballast and semi-balanced rudder making for a strong, fast, stiff and good tracking cruising vessel. Above decks she has a teak laid cockpit with twin wheel helms and a walk-through transom, 2020 installed standing rigging, excellent running rigging, a good sail wardrobe in very good condition and plenty of uncluttered deck space. Bellow decks is a very nice 55hp saildrive diesel with a recent (Oct 2025) service including new sail drive seal. The interior is designed to maximise her volume offering plenty of room to feed, sleep and socialise six adults in comfort, and berth an additional two by way of converting the dining area.
Dreamweaver 3 fall easily into the category of 'exceptionally well cared for' with her fastidious owners maintaining and upgrading any component requiring attention. They have also sailed her extensively: with exceptionally journeys throughout the western Pacific, a Tasmanian circumnavigation, many Australian east coast cruising from Melbourne to North Queensland, and numerous trips from Brisbane to the Whitsundays. She is in this brokerage's opinion one of the most well presented production cruising yachts over 40' that we've seen in the past few years and deserves your consideration. Located on her berth at a nearby yacht club, please contact Australiawide Boat Sales in Manly Qld to arrange an inspection.
