The Dufour 24, introduced in 1975, arrived as a focused attempt by Michel Dufour to translate the success of his legendary Arpège into a more accessible, entry-level cruiser. Built by Dufour Yachts in La Rochelle, the vessel was part of a prolific era for the French shipyard, which was then the largest in France. Often described as a "mini-Arpège," the boat features a distinctive, robust profile with high topsides and a nearly plumb transom—a hallmark of Michel Dufour’s design language aimed at maximizing interior volume. Approximately 720 units were produced between 1975 and 1979, making it one of the most successful small cruisers of the decade and a frequent sight in European coastal waters today.
