Dufour Shipyard : the french luxury boats builder

One of the major luxury sailboat manufacturer worldwide.

Established more than 50 years ago on the Atlantic Coast, Dufour plays an important role in the region and is one of the main employers in La Rochelle.

With a production capacity of more than 18.000 m² and 420 full-time employees, Dufour counts among the biggest shipyards in the world.

In 1957, young engineer Michel Dufour discovered the new material, polyester. At the time, he was a keen competition sailor with a real passion for yachts , class rules and hydrodynamics. This sparked his idea to build a yacht made of polyester . In 1964, Michel Dufour started to design the “Sylphe” transportable yacht. He took a lot of financial risks to make the yacht, rented a hangar and started to make the “Sylphe” under the aegis of his newly formed company, Le Stratifié Industriel.

The famous Italian naval architect Umberto Felci and the designers of Dufour Yachts work in very close cooperation to get hulls of the very best quality. The worldwide reputation of our yachts does not need to be reminded.

100% made in France, all Dufour Yachts models are thinked, designed and produced in La Rochelle, in the company headquarters. With near 400 sailboats built by year, Dufour Yachts controls the whole supply chain, from the project development to expedition, passing from the mounting and wood work.

Product Overview

Manufacturer:.

In the 1970s, Dufour was France’s biggest yacht builder, launching a plethora of new models including the Dufour 2800, which superseded the Dufour 27 in 1978.

More than 1,300 Dufour 2800s were built over seven years, making it one of Michel Dufour’s most successful designs.

Its popularity was due to a striking modern design, well ahead of its time, with a high-volume hull and a bright, airy saloon.

Combined with the promise of good sailing performance from an easily managed, race-bred hull and rig, it was a popular formula.

Three decades on, does the Dufour 2800 still deliver the goods? I spent a few days aboard a well-maintained example, Milike , to find out.

Design, construction & sailplan

High freeboard and a high coachroof with big windows sounds like a recipe for an ugly yacht.

But the Dufour 2800 is surprisingly well balanced and pleasing to the eye, with the advantage of large amounts of practical, well planned space both above and below decks.

The standard fin keel is deep enough to provide good sailing performance and long enough to dry out against a wall with normal due care.

A few Dufour 2800s were built with deeper ‘Club Special’ keels for enhanced performance at the cost of reduced access to shallow water.

The centreboard version has a minimum length stub keel for creek crawling, which seems likely to reduce performance, with possible maintenance worries should the centreboard get jammed up or down.

Milike under sail in Bahia de Pollensa close to Puerto Pollensa. She is normally fi tted with a small bimini and sprayhood for extremes of weather.

Steering is direct from tiller to unbalanced rudder, so the rig must be well balanced at all times to keep the helm light.

Unlike more modern yachts with bulbous sterns containing an ‘owner’s stateroom’ plus massive cockpit lazarettes and a swimming platform, the 2800 has a neat, trim transom that is less likely to get pushed around by following waves.

The rig is a typical development of Half Ton and One Ton Cup racers from the 1970s, with a small, easily handled mainsail dwarfed by a very large overlapping genoa, which can require a lot of effort to winch in.

As the breeze increases, you have to partially furl the genoa before reefing the mainsail.

The cockpit was clearly designed by a racing enthusiast, for cruising enthusiasts: safe, secure and well protected at sea with good footholds and handholds.

You have to accept that the tiller sweeps across the back of the cockpit and the mainsheet traveller crosses the companionway – typical features from a yacht of this age that demand some extra care – but there is enough comfortable space for a crew of three to sit in the cockpit on the benches, or up on the coamings.

The cockpit also works well at anchor or in a marina, though without the wide-open space and easy boarding via a sugar-scoop stern of more modern yachts.

A home-made cockpit table works very well on a boat of this size.

With slab reefing led back to the cockpit, there is little need to go on deck at sea.

But when it is necessary, the flush, wide side decks and foredeck make it easy to move around the boat with grabrails along the coachroof and still good grip for your feet after more than 30 years’ wear.

And while Milike may be a little faded from the Mallorcan sun, the gelcoat of her white hull, blue coachroof and grey deck also looks pretty good after three decades, with no major problems from cracks, crazing or, heaven forbid, delamination.

As with any yacht, regular maintenance is required to ensure everything continues to work well.

Two years ago, all the original coachroof windows had to be replaced, which took a week of hard labour – they had become horribly crazed with age.

Below decks

The most striking aspect down below on Milike was light pouring into the saloon through the new windows, illuminating the woodwork, headlining and an overall finish that still looks pretty good.

The galley functions equally well in a marina or under way, with a cooker, sink, fridge and cupboards close to hand.

It was originally fitted with a two-burner stove on gimbals balanced by a Camping Gaz cylinder attached directly underneath.

Looking forward in the saloon, both the cockpit and saloon tables are stowed against the bulkhead.

Moving the gas supply to a transom locker proved too challenging, so an Origo alcohol stove was installed instead.

It performed well initially but went ‘off the boil’ during our spring cruise due to sub-standard fuel.

The original gas geyser – unpleasant and slightly dodgy – has been replaced by a calorifier with a heating element, fitted in the cockpit locker to ensure there is hot water for the shower when connected to shore power or after running the engine.

A useful addition to Milike is the home-made, full-size dining table that stows vertically against the main bulkhead.

Moving forward, the moulded plastic sink facing the heads opposite is a lurid shade of faded tangerine, but who cares when it works well.

And unlike most comparable cruisers, you can even enjoy a hot shower with a surprising degree of comfort!

Without doubt, the Dufour 2800 is a proper sailor’s boat. She will appeal to folks who were brought up on dinghy sailing and expect immediate response from tiller, hull and rig.

Given that she’s a heavily laden, live-aboard cruiser, Milike was rewarding to sail and fun to steer, particularly upwind, while we spent an enjoyable few days exploring Bahia de Pollensa with its lovely anchorages near the northern tip of Mallorca.

Thanks to regular maintenance, cleaning and greasing, Milike’s winches and blocks are all original and working perfectly.

The big genoa provides most of the drive on a reach, pushing her comfortably past 7 knots, with a light, precise feel on the helm. With the genoa creating so much power forward of the keel, correct trim and the right amount of sail area are vital to keep the boat pleasantly balanced.

The design was well ahead of its time, with a high-volume hull and very good sailing performance.

For best performance deeper downwind, the small mainsail needs a cruising chute or traditional symmetrical spinnaker – there’s plenty of space to stow a spinnaker pole on the side deck and a good foredeck working area for launching and retrieval.

Under power, Milike chugged along quietly with little vibration from her original Volvo MD7. Apparently always reliable, this engine has had one major overhaul and been repainted bright blue.

For a boat of her age, she manoeuvres reasonably well in a marina and we had no great problem negotiating her tight, bows-on berth.

As with any yacht, practice is necessary to feel confident whenever you go astern in crowded surroundings.

Tony Lean placed his order for a brand new Dufour 2800 while visiting the 1981 Earl’s Court London Boat Show.

Later that year, he travelled to the west coast of France to collect the newly launched Milike and sailed her directly to Mallorca, where Puerto Pollensa has been her happy home port for more than 30 years.

During that time, Tony has enjoyed cruising around the coast and the neighbouring island of Minorca with his family and friends, using two bath plugs to transform the deep footwell into a paddling pool for young children. Such is cruising life when you keep a yacht in the Mediterranean!

Tony’s regular crewman, Rodney Evans, a keen handyman, helps with maintenance and upkeep.

Tony and Rodney tend to visit at different times of the year, staying on board for a fortnight or more during spring, summer or autumn, which ensures Milike gets at least two months’ proper use and solid cruising each season. In terms of sailing pleasure, she has proved an excellent investment over three decades.

Our verdict on the Dufour 2800

What’s she like to sail.

Pleasing hull lines reflect excellent sailing performance, which made the Dufour 2800 a potent cruiser-racer in her day.

In light to moderate winds she is a delight to drive hard and high upwind, steering on the headsail telltales while perched on the weather cockpit coaming with the tiller extension easily to hand.

This provides a comfortable position with a good view ahead, though the huge overlapping genoa blankets the view to leeward.

In stronger winds and waves it is more secure to sit inside the cockpit where the tiller comes nicely to hand, with precise pull from the spade rudder.

It’s not a balanced rudder, so she will turn into wind if you let the tiller go (or fall over the side).

The cockpit has comfortable space for three adults or a young 2+2 family under sail.

The mainsheet can be grabbed by helm or crew, which is useful for instant tweaking, but you need to be wary of the track across the companionway.

While the mainsail is small and easily managed, the large masthead genoa requires prompt sheeting to avoid a lot of winding during tacks, which is typical of yachts from that era.

Many 2800s are fitted with slab reefing controlled from the cockpit, so only hoisting and dropping require a trip along the wide side decks to the mast.

A stack-pack with lazyjacks could be a worthwhile investment, though it’s not difficult to roll and secure the small mainsail neatly on top of the boom.

What’s she like in port and at anchor?

We found the 2800 comfortable for three adults to spend a week living aboard in a marina and daysailing, despite some challenging weather.

Her large coachroof windows ensure light fills the cabin and you can get a very nice view of the outside world if you stand up in the saloon.

There is ample space for four or even more adults to socialise below in reasonable comfort.

The forecabin is spacious enough for an adult or two children to sleep quite comfortably, with the moulded heads and shower/bathroom unit sandwiched between main bulkhead and saloon.

The chart table aided by a Yeoman plotter and a Garmin GPS Map 230.

Two decent single berths in the saloon are augmented by a tight quarterberth behind the chart table, which could play an important role on a long passage or for basic stowage.

Nav station and galley are well designed and more than adequate.

Would she suit you and your crew?

With 1,300 Dufour 2800s built between 1978 and 1984, there is a healthy second-hand market throughout Britain, Europe, the Caribbean and USA.

A huge variation in asking prices from well under £10,000 to over £15,000 reflects overall condition, specification and owners’ expectations.

The one we sailed was in very good condition for her age, with well-preserved gelcoat and solid laminate – these yachts were built to last and should provide many more years of sailing pleasure.

The Dufour 2800 is fun to sail and easy to handle with excellent accommodation in a light, airy, attractive interior.

A good example could be very comfortable for an adult couple who enjoy coastal cruising, or provide lots of fun for a young family, with two kids sleeping in the forecabin or playing in the safe confines of the deep cockpit while the yacht gently rocks at anchor.

• Guide To Dufour - Four Decades Of Innovation 

Guide to Dufour - Four decades of innovation 

Michel Dufour founded his company to build the Sylpie in 1965, but it was his second design, the Arpege from 1967, that established his reputation as an innovative designer and builder.

Today, the company builds cruiser-racers from 34ft to 45ft and ‘pure’ cruisers from 32ft to 50ft. Most of the hulls are designed by Umberto Felci and the interiors styled by Patrick Roseo.

Dufour T7 - One of the smallest centre-cockpit designs widely available, at 22ft. The T7 appeared in 1980 and sold 250 in two years. With two berths in the saloon and two in the aftercabin, reached via the cockpit, the T7 is popular as a family cruiser.

Dufour 27 - With very high freeboard and a window in the hull, this was a distinctive and popular cruiser from 1973. Most sales were in France. Under her semi-flush decks is 15ft 11in headroom and four berths in a very bare, GRP-dominated interior.

Dofour 1800 - Introduced in 1979 in succession to the Dufour 25, this 25-footer sold well – 200 boats were launched in three years of production, with a choice of lifting, shallow, standard or deep-fin keels. She is typical of the middle years of Dofour design: a full-bodied, high-volume hull topped by a square-looking coachroof.

Dufour 28 – A late model from Dufour’s first incarnation, designed by Jaques Faroux, this is still a strikingly modern and good-looking yacht. Performance and handling are acceptable if she is kept upright, but she’s not ideal for heavy-weather passage-making. She was remarkable for her time (1983) in having two aft cabins in an overall length of just 29ft.

Dufour 2800 – Successor to the 27 in 1978, this comfortable, docile family cruiser was the second most popular Dufour of all time: 1,300 were built over six years. At the time her looks were modern and refreshing - she effectively re-established Michel Dufour’s reputation for forward thinking.

Dufour 30 Classic – Simplicity is the essence of this entry-level cruiser, launched in the late 1990s. She is quick under full canvas, easy to handle, close-winged and fairly well balanced to boot. The rig, which supports a fairly large mainsail and a small, non-overlapping jib, was rather lightly built for serious offshore work. The cockpit is well laid out, with all the essentials within easy reach of the helm – a bonus for short-handed sailing.

Dufour 31 – Another highly successful model, selling more than 900 from 1973 onwards, the most striking feature is her clipper bow. Like many Dufour yachts she was innovative for her time, with a spacious, six-berth interior (including a quarter berth and a dinette double) and a 1.9m headroom.

Dufour 32 Classic – The 32 Classic was launched in 1988 and quickly gained reputation as a comfortable cruising yacht and remained in production until 2004. The sailplan is moderate, with an overlapping genoa, giving good average performance under sail for a modern cruiser.

Dufour 3800 – This masthead-rigged fast cruiser was the replacement for the 31, launched in 1979 and designed by German Frers. Despite being an elegant boat with far less plastic interior and sparkling performance, sales were only moderate at 300.

Dufour 4800 – Launched in 1981, this 35 footer from Dufour was a substantially different creation to the company’s earlier models. Looking very much like a grown-up 3800, she could accommodate up to nine people, maintaining the French tradition for maximum crew berths. She had, in effect, an early manifestation of an owner’s suite, with the heads and double berth forward of the main bulkhead.

Dufour 34 – A sparkling performer which scooped the European Yacht of the Year award. This Umberto Felci design from 2002 sports a fine, deep iron keel and a slim but very deep rudder, set on a sleek hull that slips through the water with the minimum of fuss and effort.

Dufour 35 – Not Michel Dufour’s most attractive creation, this flush-decked, beamy boat from 1972 nonetheless managed sales of 450, thanks largely to the enormous amount of space below desks and good performance under sail.

Dufour 35 Classic – Well-balanced and quick, the 35 Classic is one of the lightest cruisers in her class, displacing just 4.5 tons. But she’s sturdy too – Dufour did not skimp on build quality. A combination of moderate freeboard, pleasing sheerline, low coachroof and reverse transom make her easy on the eye.

Dufour 32 review: 56 years of French design went into this new cruiser

• Peter Poland
• December 15, 2022

Peter Poland reports on the new Dufour 32, which reflects the many changes made down the years in the designs and dimensions of production cruising yachts…

Product Overview

Price as reviewed:.

When Michel Dufour set up as a designer and builder of GRP yachts back in the 1960s, the Arpege 30 (introduced in 1966) was only his second production yacht.

In those days a 30-footer was one of the largest GRP cruisers to be built for the fast-growing market in GRP yachts. And an impressive 1,500 of this great Michel Dufour design were sold before production ceased in 1976.

Yet today, buyers looking for new cruisers around 30ft will be hard pressed to find anything on the market. Beneteau, Jeanneau, Dufour, Bavaria, Hanse et al are all producing ever bigger cruisers; and GRP 60-footers are now commonplace.

New smaller yachts like the recent Beneteau Oceanis 30.1 (2019), Hanse 315 (2016) and Dufour 32 (2022) are rare. The smallest Jeanneau, Hallberg-Rassy and Bavaria are all 34-footers.

Big yacht surge

There are many reasons for the increasing number of large, high value yachts. The most interesting of these relates to what is known in the USA as ‘The Great Wealth Transfer.’

As ageing ‘baby boomers’ sadly begin to depart in increasing numbers, they leave their substantial assets to their children. A 2019 study by American real estate specialists Coldwell Banker suggests that US millennials stand to inherit in excess of US$68 trillion from their baby boomer parents by 2030.

Millions of young US consumers are therefore likely to become buyers of high value goods. UK figures will of course be smaller; but they will have much the same effect. UK dealers tell me that this surge is already being seen in yacht purchases. More people are buying bigger yachts.

Best 30ft French boats: Our pick of the best options for cruising sailors

Sailors who look around 21st century boat shows won’t come across a single big volume British yacht builder. The occasional…

Unsurprisingly therefore, many manufacturers are concentrating their efforts on big boats. These are in demand and more profitable. It’s also a fact that the time to build a smaller boat, install its engine and plumbing then fit the ever-growing list of electrics and accessories is not pro-rata to the cost of fitting these in a bigger boat.

Even though the material costs of a larger boat are more, the man hours needed to fit out a smaller boat are far higher in relation to its size and selling price. Fortunately a few builders still believe that smaller cruisers are needed to attract buyers to their range… even if the margins are smaller.

Strength to strength

The Dufour range includes the 32, 37, 390, 412, 430, 470, 530, 56 and 61 models. All are designed by Umberto Felci and Lorenzo Giovannozzi of Felci Yacht design who have produced 38 models for Dufour since 2002; several of which have won major awards.

Recently, the Dufour 470 won the 2021 Cruising Yacht of the Year at the British Yachting Awards while the Dufour 530 won American Sail magazine’s 2021 Best Boat Award in the Large Monohull 50ft and above category.

‘Dufour’s latest Felci-designed hulls can fit in an amazing amount of space for their length’

In 2017, the Dufour 520 Grand Large won ‘Boat of the Year’ in the 50ft to 54ft category and in 2016 Felci Yacht design’s Grand Soleil 58 design won Vela e Motore magazine’s Boat of the Year award. Leading American magazine Cruising World awarded the Dufour 382 Grand Large its Best Midsize Cruiser title in 2015 and named the Dufour 560 Grand Large ‘Best Cruiser over 50ft’.

Based in La Rochelle, the Dufour company has gone from strength to strength since it was acquired in 2018 by leading catamaran builder Fountaine-Pajot. It seems that any successful brand of monohull benefits greatly from the increased turnover of a multihull division; as has proved to be the case with Beneteau (with Lagoon and Excess), Hanse (with Privilège) and Bavaria (with Nautitech).

I was therefore quick to accept an invitation from UK Dufour agents Universal Yachting, based on the Hamble at Mercury Yacht Harbour, to have a run in the exciting looking Dufour 32. This brand new model is based on the Dufour 310 hull and it incorporates innovative ideas.

Dufour 32: Initial impressions

The first thing to hit me as I clambered from the pontoon into the cockpit was the absence of twin steering wheels and twin rudders.

These seem to be the norm on many modern cruisers, yet they add greatly to the cost and weight; especially on smaller yachts. Instead, the Dufour 32 has a hinging tiller connected to a single deep rudder.

This also enables the autohelm to be attached directly to the rudder stock instead of cluttering up the cockpit. Thanks to a robust and adjustable tiller extension, the helmsman can steer from the cockpit seat or further outboard from the coamings (equipped with excellent cushions).

Uncluttered side decks with teak toerails and a recessed self-tacker track, robust black grab handles and neatly arranged sail controls. Photo: Peter Poland

The cockpit itself is extremely spacious, as befits a boat designed and built to give exciting performance. Twin Lewmar 40 winches at the aft end of the coachroof give good control of the halyards, reef lines and jib sheets.

There are also two mounting positions further aft for extra winches to handle Code 0 and spinnaker sheets. The mainsheet comes off an adjustable rope lead on the coachroof and there is an option to take the final lead to a cockpit sole mounted block.

Another unique option is a removable and inflatable ‘aft door’ to the cockpit that can also fold down to sea level to provide a useful bathing platform. It is pumped up in the same way as an inflatable paddleboard and when deflated can be stored in the cockpit locker. The inflatable cushions to fit on the cockpit seats will also add to the overall comfort.

The cockpit table has additional functions and three alternative positions: Its raised position offers alfresco dining; lower it to cockpit seat level to create a large sunbathing area; or remove it completely for lots of space while sailing.

Despite light winds, Performance Pack sails give plenty of power. Photo: Peter Poland

Rig choices

The Dufour 32 has an interesting choice of two different rigs to cater for owners who want maximum performance or those who are happy with a less powerful cruising rig.

Both rigs have two sets of swept spreaders and no backstay. Those seeking high speeds can opt for a Performance Pack that comprises a DCX square headed fully battened mainsail instead of the standard Dacron mainsail, and a 108% DCX genoa instead of the Dacron self-tacking jib.

It also includes gear for an asymmetric spinnaker, a cockpit mounted main sheet block, a two-bladed folding prop and a rigid vang. This option costs €12,606. I was told that the mast is the same as that on the speedy Jeanneau Sun Fast 3300 .

The test boat was equipped with this Performance Pack and in 7 knots apparent wind she tacked through an impressive 76° at 4.2 knots. On a reach in 7.4 knots apparent wind, she hit an equally impressive 4.7 knots under mainsail and 108% genoa.

Sadly, this was the most wind we could find during the test sail. But good light weather performance is a sure sign of an efficient hull shape and rig so overall performance can be expected to be equally good.

The chines reduce waterline beam in light weather and increase directional stability in a blow. As designer David Thomas once said after persuading me to have chines on our 26ft twin keel cruisers and Hunter 707 planing sportsboat : “Water likes chines. They tell it where to go”.

Under engine the standard DI20F 19hp Volvo pushed her quietly along at 5 knots at 2,100rpm; and at 6.3 knots at 3,100rpm. At all times the helm felt positive and the tiller extension enabled the helmsman to sit comfortably on the seat or cockpit coaming.

Intuitive layout

The deck layout, befitting a yacht designed to give good performance, is well thought out and easy to move around on. The side decks are amply wide and teak toerails give security. Sturdy aluminium handrails situated on the edge of the coachroof come easily to hand.

The bowsprit for flying the Code 0 or asymmetric spinnaker looks well designed and strong. The anchor mounting on the stemhead is removable when you want to go racing. Below, the Dufour 32 is commendably spacious for a boat of her length, and the extensive deckhead windows make it light, airy and a nice place to be.

There’s a wide choice of upholstery fabrics and Dufour sailboats are available in two types of wood finish. The oak’s light tones offer a touch of modernity, as well as a warm and pleasant feel. The teak gives off a natural, understated elegance.

The galley has a sink, freshwater tap, sea water tap, fridge, cooker and ample stowage. Photo: Peter Poland

Once in the saloon, there’s a lot to take in. Starting aft, the heads compartment to starboard is very spacious for a 32-footer. Facing you as you enter, there’s a basin mounted on a flat surface with a locker under that also contains pipes and skin fittings.

A mixer tap and moveable shower head are beside the basin and the moulded floor of the compartment has an electric sump pump to shift the shower water.

Above the basin are two spacious lockers with mirrors on the hinge-up doors. And aft is a rack for hanging wet weather gear that drains onto the floor. The fuel tank lives in the adjacent starboard sail locker.

The stern cabin feels spacious and there’s good storage in the lockers on the right of the photo. Photo: Peter Poland

The aft stern cabin is located to port. Just inside the door there’s a hanging locker and storage shelves. The battery isolator switches are on the side of the berth and the water tank is beneath it.

The berth is around 194cm long, 183cm wide at its widest point and around 115cm wide adjacent to the companionway steps. As with all boats, anyone considering the Dufour 32 should take their shoes off and try the bunks for size. Moving forward, the galley (to port) is L-shaped with gas cooker, fridge, sink and several storage lockers.

The surface finish is Corian, including the sink and fridge lids. When studying the Comfort Pack (cost €15,600) it is worth checking which items are included. There are two settee berths in the saloon. The starboard one is particularly long. There are also two under-deck lockers each side, plus stowage under the berths.

The saloon is spacious and airy for a 32ft boat. Photo: Peter Poland

The saloon table is nicely finished and there is a substantial central glass and bottle locker. The table can also act as an infill to make a large berth.

The hinging instrument panel to starboard does not have a chart table beneath it. Many modern sailors are happy to use electronic navigational instruments and make do with the saloon table to spread out a chart when necessary.

The forecabin is divided from the saloon by hinging doors and the berth is around 184cm long and 167cm wide at widest point. Once again – as I often advised our visitors at boat shows – it’s a case of shoes off and try it for size.

Sailing the Dufour 32: A light wind test

The GRP work throughout the boat looks good (where accessible). And when I commented on the excellent finish on the underside of the deck moulding and on the inside of the cockpit locker lids, Chris Warwick of importers Universal Yachting pointed out that the deck is injection moulded.

Universal also charters out a 2022 example of the Dufour 390 (bare boat or skippered) enabling potential future owners to get a feel for the designs.

The Dufour 32 is an excellent example of how Dufour’s latest Felci-designed hulls with their short overhangs, wide sterns and tall topsides can fit in an amazing amount of space for their length.

Our test in light airs gave us no chance to evaluate how she sailed in a stiff breeze. But her performance was excellent in the light conditions on offer and I have no reason to doubt her abilities in the stronger stuff.

Dufour has set out to produce a modern model that will attract new clients to its range as well as satisfy clients who have no need for a bigger boat; and I believe they have succeeded.

Dufour Yachts: Performance-Based Monohulls

For more than 50 years, Dufour has been creating yachts with a strong distinctive design that has made it one of the most respected and loved yacht manufacturers the world has ever seen. Now merging with Fountaine Pajot, the Dufour brand continues to be a major force on the world’s waters.

Yachts and the growth of sailing across the world likely wouldn’t have been possible without Michel Dufour’s designs more than 50 years ago. By respecting both the lifestyle and performance of yacht sailing, Dufour saw the need for meticulous design to bring together a vibrant helm with a stable and steady hull form.

Dufour took that passion and created some of the world’s most incredible yachts, while the Dufour factory developed into a production line with its sights set solidly on quality and precision.

That passion continues today at the Dufour plant located in the heart of France’s incredible sailing culture in La Rochelle – all on the same grounds for the entire company’s history. The shipyard is one of the world’s largest and supports more than 450 employees – many of whom enjoy sailing themselves – while being a major focal point for the French sailing community.

In 2002, legendary yacht designer Umberto Felci brought his incredible skill for the design of race-winning yachts to the Dufour team, setting a new benchmark for yacht design. His yachts have spectacular lines, comfortable ergonomics, and most importantly, incredible performance.

Exterior Design

Dufour Yachts have always been iconic. Even from far away, the brand has been recognizable to sailing enthusiasts and novices alike. That foundation came from Michel Dufour’s original designs and continues to this day under the guidance of Felci.

With hard lines, a thin waterline beam, and a distinguished bowsprit, Dufour’s new era has been driven by Felci’s vision and Dufour’s history.

The Dufour Yacht Range

Interior Design

While the deck and exterior may boast performance, thrills and speed, the interior is designed with quality and comfort in mind. The Dufour team has made the spacious interior simple for a reason – to fit you.

When it comes to the interior, Dufour wants to make you and your passengers feel safe, comfortable and relaxed. Need a private area for a relaxing evening? Dufour can provide a secluded escape with its captain’s quarters. For those interested in chartering their yacht, there is an option with two cabins forward and an extra bathroom.

Deck and Rigging

Dufour offers three rig and deck plans to best fit your needs:

EASY – The design offers comfort and simplicity with winches and clutches all positioned on the coaming.

OCEAN – This package offers more trimming possible, more controls on the coach roof all within helms’ reach.

PERFORMANCE – Boating a taller mast, bigger sail area and option for a deeper keel for more thrills and fun on the water.

Dufour remains a leader because of its innovation by pushing trends forward. That’s why Felci’s firm has created three new design trends for three different atmospheres:

Boston – For those who love the traditional staples of sailing but want the modern touches and perfect lines right down to the finish for the yacht.

Europe – Today’s finest interior design comes to life with contemporary finishes.

Millenium – Trending to a new level for those who want the modern graces, with key metal details and electric blue fabrics.

Dufour Yachts

Michel Dufour, an engineer and sailing enthusiast from La Rochelle, decided to set up his own shipyard back in 1964.

Specialising in the design and sale of French yachts for over 50 years, Dufour Yachts has established a reputation as a leading company in its field.

Once more, Dufour combines comfort with performance in the design of the new 61. The result is pure harmony to enhance your incomparable sailing experience.

The flagship of the new Exclusive range, the Dufour Exclusive 56 is synonymous with luxury and comfort.

Heir to the comfort, elegance and expertise of the legendary Dufour brand

When Dufour’s know-how re-invents itself to craft the sailing boat of tomorrow. This results in a 47-footer which is both beautifully designed and high-performance for incredible thrills

This 9 meter-long weighted dinghy embodies Dufour’s passion for the sea.

Dufour Yachts team keeps developing new models and presents the latest addition of the range, the Dufour 360 Grand Large.

Dufour 2800

Dufour 2800 is a 27 ′ 0 ″ / 8.3 m monohull sailboat designed by Michel Dufour and built by Dufour Yachts between 1977 and 1984.

Rig and Sails

Auxilary power, accomodations, calculations.

The theoretical maximum speed that a displacement hull can move efficiently through the water is determined by it's waterline length and displacement. It may be unable to reach this speed if the boat is underpowered or heavily loaded, though it may exceed this speed given enough power. Read more.

Classic hull speed formula:

Hull Speed = 1.34 x √LWL

Max Speed/Length ratio = 8.26 ÷ Displacement/Length ratio .311 Hull Speed = Max Speed/Length ratio x √LWL

Sail Area / Displacement Ratio

A measure of the power of the sails relative to the weight of the boat. The higher the number, the higher the performance, but the harder the boat will be to handle. This ratio is a "non-dimensional" value that facilitates comparisons between boats of different types and sizes. Read more.

SA/D = SA ÷ (D ÷ 64) 2/3

• SA : Sail area in square feet, derived by adding the mainsail area to 100% of the foretriangle area (the lateral area above the deck between the mast and the forestay).
• D : Displacement in pounds.

Ballast / Displacement Ratio

A measure of the stability of a boat's hull that suggests how well a monohull will stand up to its sails. The ballast displacement ratio indicates how much of the weight of a boat is placed for maximum stability against capsizing and is an indicator of stiffness and resistance to capsize.

Ballast / Displacement * 100

Displacement / Length Ratio

A measure of the weight of the boat relative to it's length at the waterline. The higher a boat’s D/L ratio, the more easily it will carry a load and the more comfortable its motion will be. The lower a boat's ratio is, the less power it takes to drive the boat to its nominal hull speed or beyond. Read more.

D/L = (D ÷ 2240) ÷ (0.01 x LWL)³

• D: Displacement of the boat in pounds.
• LWL: Waterline length in feet

Comfort Ratio

This ratio assess how quickly and abruptly a boat’s hull reacts to waves in a significant seaway, these being the elements of a boat’s motion most likely to cause seasickness. Read more.

Comfort ratio = D ÷ (.65 x (.7 LWL + .3 LOA) x Beam 1.33 )

• D: Displacement of the boat in pounds
• LOA: Length overall in feet
• Beam: Width of boat at the widest point in feet

Capsize Screening Formula

This formula attempts to indicate whether a given boat might be too wide and light to readily right itself after being overturned in extreme conditions. Read more.

CSV = Beam ÷ ³√(D / 64)

Successor to the DUFOUR 27 in 1978. This was the second most popular Dufour of all time, with 1,300 being built over a 6 year period. A sportier version, the CS Club Special had a deeper keel. A lifting keel model was also available. (2800 refers to the displacement of 2800 kg.)

Why choose a Dufour yacht?

Sailing boats with a distinctive design

For more than 50 years, Dufour yachts have been synonymous with swift, joyful sailing and beautiful lines. But behind the gleaming finish is always an exceptionally stable and comfortable yacht that makes the perfect companion for any cruising programme.

Umberto Felci: a legendary designer

Design is at the very heart of Dufour. Since 2002 the yard has worked closely with the legendary designer Umberto Felci , whose name is inextricably wrapped up with race-winning cruising yachts . He brought a fresh aesthetic flair to Dufour, setting new standards for the whole industry as he did so. Now the merger with renowned catamaran builder Fountaine Pajot has further invigorated the design team. The new boats are an inspiring fusion of beguiling looks, exciting performance and ergonomic details.

Throughout the history of this storied shipyard, it has always been possible to spot a Dufour yacht from afar, simply by virtue of its looks. Those hallmarks may have changed as the design language evolved, but they have always been distinctive. In the Umberto Felci era, the hard chines and narrow waterline beam are unmistakeable, always allied to an elegant, integrated bowsprit. The coachroof has an efficient, low profile, all signed with minimal, harmonious lines.

Elegance and volume below

When it comes to the interior, Dufour yachts are every bit as unique. Bright and spacious, of course. The yard’s designers have perfected the art of the necessary – restrained, minimal joinery rather than fussy detailing and surplus features that slow you down. But don’t mistake clean design for simplicity. Comfort and quality is a given, as is the choice of a configuration to suit your cruising plans .

Performance is in the genes

Dufour’s origins in the passion of an amateur racer endure to this day in the boats’ sleek looks. From the early days of Michel Dufour’s first 21-foot Sylph to the new DUFOUR 61 flagship, these yachts have always been fast and responsive to sail.

A unique hull design

Michel Dufour’s designs were instrumental in popularising sailing during the 1960s. He was fascinated by the novel technique of building in polyester and glass. Over the years, the shipyard has remained the benchmark when it comes to ‘savoir-faire’, with a production line focused on quality and precision. It is the same for every one of our craftspeople, from the joiners to the riggers, supported by cutting-edge technology and always driven by a spirit of innovation.

Every element carefully balanced

Safety and comfort is nothing without the joy of quick passages and lively handling. Dufour understood this from the off, and has always balanced lifestyle with performance. Careful design marries an exciting helm with a stable hull form; a choice of rigging styles; and an options list that can keep you going for weeks during an ocean crossing or provide just what you need for a restorative weekend of coastal cruising.

French to the core

Dufour has been building yachts on the same site for more than 50 years. And that site is planted firmly at the heart of France’s vibrant marine tradition, in the city of La Rochelle. Among the yard’s 450 local employees, there are several who have devoted their entire working lives to the brand and are sailors themselves. In this way, every Dufour yacht is the expression of a rich history and an even richer savoir-faire. French through-and-through.

Shared values

When you buy a Dufour, you aren’t simply buying a boat. You are joining many thousands of previous owners who understand the importance of instinctive boat handling allied to comfort, safety and an elegant, balanced design.

A common passion

From Polynesia to Porquerolles, Dufour yachts are cherished and sailed hard by demanding, knowledgeable owners. Owners from every walk of life who share something ineffable: that thrill as the wind fills in and the boat heels; joy at the tang of salt spray; and a respect for nature and her elements. Expect to be greeted wherever you moor your Dufour . For as many owners have discovered, once you join the Dufour family, you may never want to leave.

Versatility and innovation

Every DUFOUR yacht owner has different priorities and sailing aspirations. That’s why each model in the Dufour range offers a variety of layouts, equipment levels and rigging types to suit any cruising programme.

Choose your rig and deck plan

Now Dufour goes even further… by offering three rig and deck plan profiles for its new models. EASY stands for comfort and simplicity, with a self-tacking jib and an optional German mainsheet system. The winches and clutches are all positioned on the coaming.

The OCEAN offers more trimming possibilities, with key controls on the coachroof, and within reach of the helms. And the PERFORMANCE option includes a taller mast and a bigger sail area, with the sheeting point for the main at the end of the boom. There’s also premium deck gear and the option of a deeper keel.

Choose your layout

Dufour is exceptionally flexible when it comes to the interior configuration of a new boat. A young family might want bunks for the kids, with a luxurious master at the bow, for instance. While charter owners often prefer two cabins forward and the extra bathroom. The yard has pioneered rare choice in the position of the galley, as well.

Choose your ‘millésime’

In order to be in tune with all Dufour owners around the world, the design office, in association with Umberto Felci’s firm of naval architecture, has developed three design trends for three different atmospheres. This cross-functional project applies to all Dufour models to suit all desires. The Boston style is dedicated to those who appreciate traditional aesthetics, but with the soft atmosphere of sailing yachts enhanced by a touch of modernity and perfect lines right down to the finishes. The Europe theme evokes a very contemporary way of life that can be found in today’s finest houses, hotels and luxury yachts. As for the Millenium , it reinterprets the interior elegance of Dufour yachts with an assertive trendy touch for fans of modernity, version 2.0. The electric blue fabrics of the sofas and the metal aspect of certain details are a testament to this.

60 YEARS OF PASSION A NEW STAGE WITH THE ARRIVAL OF FOUNTAINE PAJOT

A new stage is marked by the arrival of Fountaine Pajot. New ambitions in terms of quality and design while preserving the DNA of the Chantier Dufour. Three new products are unveiled: the Dufour 530 , Dufour 470 and Dufour 61 .
