All about Dufour 36 Classic version
Manufacturers sometimes show more imagination in establishing their ranges than in naming them. At Dufour, the Classic range refers to a basic set of specifications: simple and economical boats, which are as easy to build as they are to sail or to live aboard. Just the basics, without the latest fittings, nor the latest electronics.
Later on, the shipyard adopted the more meaningful names of "Grand Large" and "Performance", while the Dufour 36 Classic was elegant and designed for ocean cruising. It was all down to Alain Mortain's drawing board skills and between 1998 and 2004, nearly 150 units were produced. The Dufour 36 Classic was designed with simplicity and efficiency in mind, but no expense was spared on the practicalities. As soon as it was presented to the trade press, the testers considered this boat to be one of the best in the Classic range. They loved the elegant classicism of the almost 11m hull designed for serious cruising.
The boat was available with 3 types of ballast (GTE, PTE and dinghy) and with 2 or 3 cabin layouts. The narrow rear forms of the era do not favour the rear space and the twin cabins of the 3-cabin version lack a little space and light. On the other hand, in the 2-cabin version, there is plenty of storage space. The saloon, offset to port, provides a passageway between the galley and the bench seat which serves as a handrail and allows you to relax in the cockpit. Smart! Classicism is good!
