Dufour has confirmed five sailing yachts for Grand Pavois La Rochelle from 22 to 27 September 2026, with four eligible for Luxury Yacht Guide's 12.00–23.99-metre category. They are the Dufour 41, 44, 48 and 54.
The Dufour 37 also appears at the show but falls below LYG's lower limit and is not counted as a luxury yacht here. The builder's team and dealer network are available at Les Minimes harbour for model viewings and ownership discussions.
The 41 and 44 cover compact cruising
The Dufour 41 measures 12.75 metres in LYG's production records, while the 44 measures 13.91 metres. Both offer a manageable scale for owner-operated coastal and longer-distance cruising.
Viewing them in succession helps buyers assess accommodation and deck arrangements without relying solely on published plan drawings. The particular equipment fitted to each show hull should be confirmed with the dealer.
Dufour 48 widens the programme
The 15.29-metre Dufour 48 provides a larger cruising platform in the middle of the qualifying display. It offers a practical comparison for owners whose plans include more guests or extended time aboard.
The extra length must be evaluated alongside beam, marina arrangements and ongoing upkeep. The show can clarify living spaces, but it does not replace an assessment of sailing characteristics at sea.
The 54 heads the LYG line-up
The Dufour 54 measures 16.84 metres overall in the site's model data and is the largest boat on this Grand Pavois stand. Its appearance follows a separate UK debut programme at Swanwick, rather than representing another new world launch.
Prospective buyers can compare its handling and accommodation brief against the smaller 48. Any individual boat's cabin arrangement and options require confirmation before making a purchase decision.
La Rochelle closes on Sunday
Dufour's official event page lists the show at Les Minimes from 22 through 27 September and offers appointment requests. Dealer representatives are available to discuss purchases and financing as well as the yachts themselves.
This is a specific French Atlantic-coast display, not a claim that all four models were unveiled this week. LYG is reporting the confirmed current availability to inspect them at one venue.
