Dufour Yachts is a French sailboat producer that was started in 1964 by engineer and naval architect Michel Dufour. He realised he had a potential of using fiberglass to make boats when he was working in a field that fabricated parts out of fibreglass.
The first Dufour yacht was called the Sylph. Between 1964 and 1975, he had sold more than 400 models and launched Dufour Yachts. In 1967, he launched L’Arpege which was 29 feet. In a span of 10 years, more than 1500 models had been built. In the 1970s, Dufour employed more than 400 employees after becoming the biggest exporter of French fibreglass sailboats. Around this time, they were exporting to more than 40 countries and won the national French Export Prize. Dufour Yachts continued to grow and sold many pieces of different models that they produced. In 2018, the company was bought by Fountaine Pajot. However, Dufour will continue being a separate brand.
