The Dufour 2800 represents a pivotal moment in the transition of Dufour Yachts from a boutique builder of racing-inclined cruisers to a titan of mass-production boatbuilding. Launched in 1977 as the successor to the successful but narrower Dufour 27, the 2800—so named for its approximate displacement of 2,800 kilograms—stayed in production until 1984. During this tenure, the French yard produced over 1,300 units, making it one of the most prolific designs of its era. Designed by Michel Dufour himself, the vessel was intended to maximize interior volume and stability without sacrificing the "sea-kindly" traits for which the shipyard had become famous. It remains a staple of the European used market and a common sight in coastal cruising hubs, prized for its robust construction and predictable manners.
