Cape 31

The Cape 31 is an affordable high performance 31 foot race boat. 

31FT ASYMMETRIC POCKET ROCKET THAT PACKS INTO A 40FT CONTAINER AND  GOES ON A TRAILER

 

The boat was masterminded by Lord Irvine Laidlaw, designed by Mark Mills and is built by licensed boat builder Cape Performance Sailing Ltd. Teams usually sail 7 up on this latest generation race boat. The class rule prefers owner driver (always amateur) and a mixed crew of amateurs and professionals.

The key to this boat’s success is that it has proven itself as not only a great one design boat, but also as a very competitive boat under multiple handicap systems. The boat has had some impressive results over the last few years in a host of UK and European IRC events, Caribbean CSA events and US ORR/ORC events. Another great feature of the Cape 31 is that she (along with her 2 piece mast) fifits into a 40ft container! Handy when you decide you’d like to join in with winter sailing in warmer waters.

The basic Cape 31 come with essentially everything needed to go sailing except sails, electronics, covers, safety & cradles/trailer.
