The following information and photographs are displayed as a service to anyone researching yacht types. Details and photographs are normally based on one specific yacht, but could be a compilation. No reliance should be placed on other yachts of the same class being identical.  Where common variations exist, we have endeavoured to indicate this in these archive details.  The price guide covers the normal ranges of age and condition. Exceptional boats, whether good or bad, may fall outside these guidelines.

The Dufour Classic 30 was designed for Dufour by Olivier Poncin and J & J Designs in 1996, and was one of several 'Classic' models introduced that year. The 30 was the smallest of this range, and initially they were built, as with this yacht, with an open-plan saloon, with two raised berths forward of the main saloon settees and table. Later an option of a smaller seating area, with a forward bulkhead and enclosed forecabin was offered as an alternative layout. The boat continued in production until 2003

Three different keels were fitted, all iron bulbed fins, altough not all keel options were made avaiable at all times during the production run

The later enclosed forecabin layout is shown above, the original open-plan saloon at bottom
