Dufour 1800
The Dufour 1800 is a French sailboat that was designed by Laurent Cordelle and Michel Dufour as a trailerable cruiser-racer and first built in 1979.
The Dufour 1800 is a development of the earlier Dufour 25.
The unusual designation does not indicate the boat length in imperial or metric, as is common, but instead the metric displacement of 1,800 kg (3,968 lb).
The design was built by Dufour Yachts in France between 1979 and 1982. About 200 examples were completed by the time production ended.
The Dufour 1800 is a recreational keelboat, built predominantly of fiberglass, with wood trim. It has a fractional sloop rig, aluminum spars, a raked stem, a reverse transom, an internally mounted spade-type rudder controlled by a tiller with an extension and a fixed fin keel or optional lifting keel. The fixed keel was supplied in three sizes: shallow draft, standard draft and deep draft. The standard draft fin keel version displaces 3,969 lb (1,800 kg) and carries 1,653 lb (750 kg) of ballast.
The boat has a draft of 4.25 ft (1.30 m) with the standard draft fin keel.
The boat is fitted with a Swedish Volvo Penta MD5A diesel engine of 8 hp (6 kW) or an outboard motor in a well. The fuel tank holds 6 U.S. gallons (23 L; 5.0 imp gal) and the fresh water tank has a capacity of 25.1 U.S. gallons (95 L; 20.9 imp gal).
Accommodations include a forward "V"-berth with an opening hatch for ventilation and two cabin berths. The starboard berth foot is under the navigation table. The galley has a two-burner stove and a dinette table that can be stowed under the starboard cabin berth or can be moved to the cockpit for use. The head is located on both sides of the bow, just aft of the "V"-berth and includes a chemical toilet and a sink. A marine toilet was a factory option.
