The Dufour 3800 is a 30.67ft masthead sloop designed by German Frers and built in fiberglass by Dufour Yachts (FRA) between 1980 and 1984.
The Dufour 3800 is a moderate weight sailboat which is a reasonably good performer. It is very stable / stiff and has a low righting capability if capsized. It is best suited as a coastal cruiser. The fuel capacity is originally very small. There is a very short water supply range.
