Dufour Yachts Dufour 31 used

Defined by the distinct naval architecture of Michel Dufour, this 1977 Dufour 31 remains a sought-after classic for sailors who value solid construction and timeless design. Measuring 9.4 meters in length with a beam of 3.12 meters, this sailboat provides a stable platform for coastal cruising and traditional navigation. Its sloop sail plan is optimized for efficient performance, maintaining responsive handling even in lighter wind conditions. The interior layout is designed for functionality and utility, featuring one cabin and one bathroom to accommodate up to 8 people on board. The fiberglass hull construction, characteristic of the era, is noted for its robustness, while the fixed keel configuration enhances stability during longer passages. Recent maintenance efforts in 2025 include the replacement of the shaft with a new stainless steel version, alongside a new bushing, Volvo stuffing box, and a new alternator, ensuring improved mechanical reliability for the next owner. This used boat has been under the care of only two owners since its construction. It is currently lying in Italy and is offered with VAT status as IVA Esente. The vessel is a testament to the build quality of 1970s French yachting, making it a viable choice for enthusiasts of classic sailboats who prioritize heritage and reliable design over modern complexity.
