Designers Comments
The Cape 31 was defined from the outset as a simple clean high performance One Design without constraint, conceived and brought to fruition by Cape Town resident and prominent sailor Lord Irvine Laidlaw of ‘Highland Fling’ fame. Designed for one of the world’s great sailing locations, we optimised the Cape 31 to be an all-rounder, as happy in big breeze as it is in light airs, upwind and down which made it an instant hit in Cape Town. Now sold worldwide by 31 North the Cape 31 is a massive success with over 70 boats sold worldwide making this the most exciting One Design fleet of the last decade.
Brokers Comments
Ordered by an experience sailor coming from larger race yachts all the options and extras have been fitted that you can possibly need. Launched April 2023 and used for three Regattas during that season. Always dry sailed with no antifouling. Easily packaged a delivered and very realistically and seriously for sale. An excellent saving over a new boat and Euro (inc Irish) VAT paid.
