Description

Short Echo is a Cape 31 launched in 2022. Hull #20, she has been campaigned by a Corinthian crew with of experience in One Design fleets, who know what it takes to campaign boats at a high level. Racing in the UK Circuit from new, she is keenly priced and would make a great option for entering the One Design fleet or indeed racing under IRC or ORCi rating rules. GENERAL CAPE 31 SPECIFICATION: LOA: 9.55m LWL: 8.75m Beam: 3.05m Disp: 1800kg Draft: 2.45m Hull colour: White. Hull #20 Professionally maintained by SRM marine since new. OVERVIEW: The Cape 31 is an affordable high performance 31 ft race boat. 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 or 8 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, including IRC and ORC. The design 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 including becoming 2022 UK IRC National Champion and two times Les Voiles de St Tropez Champion! Another great feature of the Cape 31 is that she (along with her 2 piece mast) fits into a 40ft container so can be easily shipped around the World. Handy when you decide you’d like to join in with winter sailing in warmer waters. Owner to retain name and GBR sail number.
