The Dufour 31, launched in 1973, represents a pivotal era in the history of Michel Dufour’s shipyard, arriving as a refined successor to the legendary Arpège. While the Arpège broke ground in the 1960s, the 31 was designed to capture the burgeoning 1970s market that demanded greater interior volume and more predictable handling for family cruising. During its production run from 1973 to 1982, approximately 900 hulls were completed, making it one of the most successful 31-footers of its generation. It was engineered at a time when fiberglass construction was still conservative, resulting in a heavily built hull that has earned a reputation for longevity across European and North American waters.
