Folie-A-Deyle - Dufour Yachts FOR SALE

1982 31' Classic Cruiser — United States

Graceful, capable, and beautifully proportioned, this timeless 31-foot classic cruiser blends the romance of traditional yachting with the confidence of solid modern construction. With a beam of 10 feet, she delivers generous interior volume while maintaining an elegant profile and a reassuringly stable ride—perfect for the discerning yachtsman seeking a pocket yacht with big-boat presence.

Crafted in durable fiberglass composite with a fiberglass deck for low-maintenance ownership, the vessel feels stout underfoot, with secure side decks and a comfortable cockpit designed for both relaxed harbor evenings and purposeful passages. Underway, her single Volvo Penta inboard diesel offers dependable, economical cruising and simple, sailor-friendly systems—precisely what experienced owners appreciate in a coastal cruiser and family weekender.

Inside, warm accents and thoughtful layout welcome you with the kind of intelligent simplicity that made this era of yachtbuilding so enduring. A bright main salon invites conversation and dining, while clever stowage solutions keep longer trips tidy. The galley is arranged for easy meal prep at anchor, and the private head adds comfort and autonomy for weekends or extended coastal adventures. Accommodations are ideal for a couple with occasional guests, or as a charming liveaboard for one who treasures compact luxury.

On the water, the yacht’s surefooted manners and balanced form inspire confidence. Her hull form was drawn for honest seakeeping rather than trends, resulting in a ride that rewards careful owners with steadiness in a range of conditions. Whether your plans involve bay cruising, quiet anchorages, or spirited coastal hops, she is the kind of classic cruiser that turns every outing into a small escape.

This 1982 build is a rare opportunity in today’s market: a true pocket cruiser from an era known for integrity, offered in the United States and ready to enjoy. If your wish list includes a fiberglass coastal cruiser with inboard diesel reliability, welcoming accommodations with a single head, and the charm of a classic that never goes out of style, this 31-footer is the yacht to see.
