Successor to the 27 in 1978, this was the second most popular Dufour of all time, with 1,300 being built over a 6 year period. At the time its looks were modern and refreshing and re-established Michel Dufour's reputation for forward thinking. A sportier version, the CS Club Special, was also produced. The five berth layout is similar to the 1800, but with the addition of a quarterberth. It is a comfortable family cruiser. LOA 27 ft (8.23m) LWL 22 ft 5 in (6.84m) Beam 9 ft 7 in. (2.93m) Draught 4 ft 11 in (1.51m) (There are also lifting keel and CS versions with a deeper fin) Displacement 6,050 lb (2,750kg) (qv Yachting Monthly Dec 2001)
