New corporate identity for Dufour Yachts

September 17 2019

Written by Yachting Art Magazine

Exits the black: the logo and the brand identity the French shipyard pass to the blue and yellow (like Ikea), displaying a great modernity, "à la scandinave!". 

The novelty of the Cannes Yachting Festival for the Rochelais Dufour Yachts shipyard, a subsidiary of Fountaine-Pajot catamarans, was the presentation of its new corporate identity, unveiled on its pontoon stand in Port Canto, the new sailing area of the fair. 

This new corporate identity developed by the Moswo agency with the marketing team of Paolo Serio (Dufour's marketing director) sees the logo's slightly evolving in its design, to include round lines, whether it is the pictogram (simplified) or the brand police.

The new signature of the brand, "Instinctive Sailing", aims to convey the values of the shipyard and its production.

The result is of great effect, which adds to a style that had made its time!!

Black, so far ubiquitous, leaves room for blue and yellowa, symbols of modernity and dynamism, and integrates into the colour repository of Fountaine-Pajot (bright red and grey).

Dufour 41, Boat of the Year? Learn More About This Model

The Dufour 41 , which blends performance, elegance, and innovation , is the result of a collaboration between the Dufour teams, interior designer Lucas Ardizio, and naval architect Umberto Felci.

To learn more, let’s revisit a conversation between seasoned sailor Nicolas Bérenger and Sébastien Lucas, Dufour 41 ‘s Project Manager.

A Reimagined Legacy

The Dufour 41 is more than just an addition to the Dufour range ; it’s a thoughtful evolution of its predecessors. “ We started with the previous Dufour range , ” explains Nicolas Bérenger. “ It’s not an entirely new boat, but rather a true product of the brand, with all the Dufour DNA . We aimed to make the boat larger while keeping the same size, widening the hull, and asking the design team to rethink their approach. ”

The result is a boat that fully embodies the tradition and DNA of Dufour while offering significant innovations . This sailboat is designed to provide a broader and more comfortable sailing experience without compromising on marine performance: intuitive sailing. This vision continues and is perpetuated across all models in the range .

An Exceptional Launch

The Dufour 41 made its official debut in February 2023, leaving the shipyard and being launched in March. Its world premiere took place at the Cannes Yachting Festival , a crucial moment where it was subjected to rigorous testing in various sea and wind conditions.

“ We tested the boat in all sea and wind conditions and shared this experience with the entire shipyard team, ” says Sébastien Lucas. “ The reception was very positive . In Cannes , we received nominations in several categories and won our first award at the Genoa Boat Show for design. ”

These awards are not only a testament to the technical success of the Dufour 41 but also to its recognition within the international boating community.

Performance and Comfort: A Perfect Balance

The Dufour 41 stands out for its maritime performance . “ It’s a well-balanced, safe, and easy-to-handle boat, suitable for both crewed and solo sailing, ” says Sébastien Lucas. This sailboat is designed to be accessible while offering top-tier performance. The cockpit design and layout of all equipment are designed for easy and intuitive access , whether you’re an experienced skipper or a beginner.

A particularly memorable moment for the team occurred during tests in Palma de Mallorca . “ We found ourselves in the middle of a J-Class regatta, ” recalls Sébastien Lucas. “ Even though we weren’t in direct competition, it was impressive to see the boat holding its own among these giants of the sea. ”

A Creative Collaboration

The creation of the Dufour 41 is the result of a two-year development process, closely involving all the Dufour teams as well as external collaborators like naval architect Umberto Felci and interior designer Luca Ardizio. Together, they worked to create a boat that embodies the brand’s values while incorporating the innovations that make Dufour strong.

“ It was about preserving the Dufour DNA —a marine and high-performing boat—while associating it with a generous hull, ” explains Sébastien Lucas. The mast positioning, volume distribution, and ease of handling were all carefully studied to optimize performance and comfort.

Luca Ardizio, responsible for interior design, brought his personal touch by balancing simplicity, functionality, and aesthetics. “ The collaboration was very enriching, based on sharing ideas to find the best possible compromise while innovating, ” he says.

A Unique Design

What truly sets the Dufour 41 apart is its unique design. “ The Dufour 41 stands out with its very wide forward hull, inspired by offshore racing boats, while remaining balanced and performant, ” emphasizes Nicolas Bérenger. Additionally, it is the only boat of its size to offer four real cabins , thanks to its optimized hull.

The cockpit, 15% larger than that of the previous model, offers a generous outdoor living space, meeting the expectations of modern sailors in terms of comfort and ergonomics.

Where to See and Test the Dufour 41?

If you want to discover or rediscover the Dufour 41, don’t hesitate to contact your Dufour dealer . They will be happy to assist you in your acquisition project and provide you with all the necessary advice.

The Dufour 41 will join its big brother—the Dufour 44 —in a grand world tour starting this fall. Schedule a visit in Cannes , Southampton , Genoa , La Rochelle , or Annapolis .

With the Dufour 41 , Dufour continues to establish itself as a key player in the boating industry , combining tradition and innovation to offer boats that captivate sailing enthusiasts worldwide. Stay tuned, big announcements are coming…
