It was his love of sailing that tempted the French engineer Michael Dufour to found his own shipyard in the French city of La Rochelle in 1964. The first model that the shipyard produced was the Arpège, immediately earning Dufour yachts a loyal following after selling over 1,500 units. Dufour’s recipe for success has remained a constant to this day. The use of cutting-edge technology and insistence upon using construction materials that live up to Dufour’s high quality demands. Just one of the small number of French shipyards that produce sailing yachts, the real success of Dufour yachts began in the 1990s with their Prestige series. In 1995, Dufour built upon that prosperity and created the Dufour Classic line.
