Dufour 31
Another highly successful model, selling more than 900 from 1973 onwards,
the most striking feature of the Dufour 31 is her clipper bow. Like many
Dufour yachts she was innovative for her time, with a spacious, six-berth
interior (including a quarterberth and a dinette double) and 1.9m (6ft 3in)
headroom. The galley and chart table are both a good size. The heads is
amidships. She was a cruiser-racer in her day, but now rarely seen on the club
circuit. However, the powerful masthead rig gives fast cruising performance.
