One Design Cape 31 Mills Design

Brand new Cape 31's ready to go, delivered anywhere in the world from the Official Cape 31 New Boat Dealer.

The Cape 31 is a high performance 31 foot race boat that not only is a great one design boat, it also wins under rating systems. She has won class in multiple Caribbean events, the UK IRC Nationals as well as sweeping the podium at the 2022 Les Voiles de St Tropez. Unquestionably fast, exhilarating and forgiving, with over 60 boats now sold, the class is truly set to go global. 

Masterminded by Lord Irvine Laidlaw, designed by Mark Mills and built by licensed boat builder Cape Performance Sailing in Cape Town. 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 while colourful boats are always very much encouraged!! The ethos of the class is fun, fair racing with an emphasis of having as much fun off the water as on it. 

Another great feature of the Cape 31 is that they are trailerable or can (along with her 2 piece mast) fit into a 40ft container! Handy when you decide you'd like to join in with the winter Caribbean Cape 31 Series or fancy a trip to St Tropez.
