Learn More About Dufour And Find Your Next Boat

Founded in 1964 by avid sailor Michel Dufour a naval architect and engineer who became interested in the polyester and glass fiber material as early as 1957. He designed and built a transportable yacht, “Sylphe” in 1964 which led to 20 orders the following year and eventually increased to industrial scale manufacturing of over 300 boats in 1971. New models were introduced as Dufour focused on performance and expanding his sales network to new markets throughout Europe and to the US. The company’s success was recognized with the Export Prize in 1973. The Dufour factory, located on the Atlantic coast of France in La Rochelle, implemented a co-branding strategy in the 1980s with the famous French tennis star René Lacoste’s brand to produce the luxury Dufour Lacoste 42 that is still recognized today for its timeless elegance. In 1988, sail height was raised, challenging the global sailing industry with the luxurious and contemporary Prestige models.

The “Ready-to-Sail” concept was introduced in the 1990s with the Dufour Classic range offering fully equipped, provision and go yachts to make cruising easy and fun. The new millennium began with Dufour Yachts’ collaboration with the famous Italian naval architect, Umberto Felci and a focus on a performance range (2002) and the Grand Large cruising models (2003) that have been continually refined over the years. Another major event occurred in 2020 with the purchase of Dufour Yachts by Fountaine Pajot, the French catamaran giant. Dufour has been kept a separate and distinct brand with 3 new Felci Yacht Designs launched, including the new flagship, Dufour 61. Also new for Dufour is the introduction of a sailing catamaran, the Dufour Sailing Catamarans 48, ideal for exploring in the shallow waters around islands without compromise of the Dufour sailing experience.

Whether for experienced sailors or adventure-seeking lovers of the sea, the Dufour 44 sailing yacht is designed to deliver an unforgettable experience.

Created with the steadfast collaboration of Felci Yachts Design and the Dufour teams, the hull’s sleek design and manoeuvrability at the helm will allow you to tame the seas while enjoying precise and responsive handling. The pleasure felt at the helm will charm new owners and cruising sailors alike.

The art of relaxation at sea

The agility of the new Dufour 44 sailboat in no way leads to a sacrifice in comfort. Her spacious, luxuriously appointed interior, signed by Luca Ardizio, offers everything you need for enjoying some unforgettable relaxing times at sea. From the elegant cabins to the bright, open-plan living spaces, every detail has been designed to provide you with exceptional comfort.

The generous beam will also allow you to enjoy a highly spacious cockpit as well as a bathing platform that’s easily accessible, thanks to its double access… A brand-new feature from Dufour!

A saloon spanning the entire width of the boat and versatile spaces

The saloon layout has been designed to offer maximum space and conviviality. Dufour is introducing a new feature, a hexagonal table giving a new design to the saloon and providing seating for up to 10 people thanks to its movable stools.

A genuine Owner’s cabin

Forward, the Owner’s cabin with its Island Bed and en-suite bathroom surpasses all expectations for optimum comfort. This new 44-footer Dufour yacht has been designed with an emphasis on detail, atmosphere and choice of materials. The result is a warm, light-filled atmosphere, where you’ll find more space and storage than ever before.

Available in 4 versions with 2 galley layouts, for greater comfort

The Dufour 41 yacht offers a total of 4 different layouts, with 3 or 4 cabins, and either a longitudinal galley or a forward galley… Luca Ardizio brings a revisited version of the forward galley, fully in keeping with Dufour’s DNA. The longitudinal galley retains plenty of storage space and a large work surface.

Smoother circulation for greater conviviality and ease under way

In keeping with Dufour’s DNA, the deck layout has been designed to give you a smooth sailing experience that’s full of sensations. The area between the helm station and the two winches has been enlarged to make sail manoeuvring easier. At anchor, you’ll be able to move freely around the plancha grill, thanks to the double access from the platform, which has also been enlarged.

Dufour Yachts Trims Sails for North America

• By Mark Pillsbury
• Updated: June 4, 2020

As sailors here in the States begin to get back out on the water after a stay-at-home spring, French sailboat builder Dufour Yachts , now a part of the Fountaine Pajot Group, has announced an innovative new model that will make its North American debut at the US Sailboat Show next fall in Annapolis, Maryland, as well as plans to expand its presence here by adding a new East Coast dealer, whose territory stretches from south of New York to Florida.

Atlantic Cruising Yachts, based in Annapolis, is the largest Fountaine Pajot dealer worldwide, and it will now represent the Dufour range of cruising monohulls as well. Previously the company was the largest Jeanneau dealer in the US. ACY has additional offices in Charleston, South Carolina, and Ft. Lauderdale and St. Petersburg, Florida, as well as the Waypoints Charter Network with bases or partners in Maryland, Florida, the Bahamas and Caribbean.

ACY’s Chris Bent said the company has sold on average 50-plus new sailboats annually, and he expects that volume to continue. About half of those boats go into the company’s Business Yacht Ownership programs, which include a range of charter options.

“We’re off to the races,” Bent said.

The Dufour range includes nine models, all Umberto Felci designs, ranging from the 310 to a new flagship, the Dufour 61, which will be headed to the US in 2021.

New for 2020 is the Dufour 530, with several US-centric amenities available, including a genset and air conditioning, an optional shoal-draft keel and American-sized cup holders. Interior accommodations include three- to five-cabin layouts. Three exterior styles are also available. These include Easy, with a self-tacking headsail, Ocean, with an overlapping jib and mid-boom mainsail sheeting, and Performance, which features end-boom sheeting for better mainsail control, as well as approximately 215 square feet more sail area.

ACY and Dufour have a number of fall events planned around shows in Maryland and Florida.
