The Dufour 4800 emerged in the early 1980s as a sophisticated evolution of the French builder’s cruiserracer lineage. Designed by Johan Valentijn—renowned for his work on America's Cup contenders like Liberty—the 4800 was intended to balance the ruggedness required for offshore passagemaking with the agility sought by the burgeoning clubracing scene of the era. Measuring 35 feet (10.65 meters) in length, it represents a pivotal era for Dufour, transitioning from the heavydisplacement "tank" builds of the late 1960s toward more hydrodynamic, performanceoriented hulls. The model was produced primarily between 1981 and 1985, carving out a niche for sailors who sought a vessel larger and more capable than the popular Dufour 31 but more manageable for a couple than the flagship 12000.
