Now available through The Yacht Sales Co. Checkmate is a stunning example of the award-winning Dufour, combining cutting-edge design with exceptional craftsmanship. Launched in 2023 and located at Westhaven Marina, Auckland, Checkmate has had just one discerning New Zealand owner and has been meticulously maintained. Lightly sailed for local cruising and club racing, she presents in immaculate, near-new condition.
