The Dufour 28 mezzo is a 28.0ft masthead sloop designed by Jacques Fauroux and built in fiberglass by Dufour Yachts (FRA) between 1982 and 1987.
140 units have been built.
The Dufour 28 mezzo is a light sailboat which is a reasonably good performer. It is stable / stiff and has a low righting capability if capsized. It is best suited as a day-boat. The fuel capacity is originally very small. There is a very short water supply range.
