The Dufour 24 is a recreational keelboat built by Dufour Yachts in France from 1975[1][2][3] to 1979, with 720 boats completed.[4]
Designed by Michel Dufour, the fiberglass hull has a raked stem, a nearly plumb transom, a transom-hung rudder controlled by a tiller and a fixed fin keel or optional shoal draft keel.[1][3]
It has a fractional sloop rig.
The boat has a draft of 3.80 ft (1.16 m) with the standard keel and 2.42 ft (0.74 m) with the optional shoal draft keel.[1][3]
The design has sleeping accommodation for four people, with a double "V"-berth in the bow cabin and two straight settee quarter berths in the main cabin. The galley is located on both sides of the companionway ladder and is equipped with a stove and a sink. There are no provisions for a head. The boat has no companionway hatch and instead has a raised domed entrance. Cabin headroom is 64 in (160 cm).[1][3]
The design has a PHRF racing average handicap of 240 and a hull speed of 5.9 kn (10.9 km/h).[3]
