Seafarer 31 Mark II

The Seafarer 31 Mark II is an American sailboat that was designed by McCurdy & Rhodes as a racer-cruiser and first built in 1974.

The design was marketed by the manufacturer as the Seafarer 31 Mark II, to differentiate it from the unrelated William H. Tripp Jr. 1968 Seafarer 31 Mark I design.

Production
The design was built by Seafarer Yachts in the United States, starting in 1974, but it is now out of production.

Design
The Seafarer 31 Mark II is a recreational keelboat, built predominantly of fiberglass, with a balsa-cored deck and with wood trim. It has a masthead sloop rig; a raked stem; a raised counter, reverse transom; a skeg-mounted rudder controlled by a wheel and a fixed fin keel. It displaces 10300 lb and carries 4850 lb of lead ballast.

The boat has a draft of 5.25 ft with the standard keel.

The boat is fitted with a Universal Atomic 4 30 hp gasoline engine or optionally a Palmer M-60 gasoline engine for docking and maneuvering. The fuel tank holds 20 u.s.gal and the fresh water tank has a capacity of 45 u.s.gal.

The design has sleeping accommodation for five people, with a double "V"-berth in the bow cabin, an L-shaped or optional U-shaped settee around a drop-down table and a straight settee in the main cabin. The galley is located on the port side just forward of the companionway ladder. The galley is U-shaped and is equipped with a three-burner stove, an ice box and a sink. A navigation station is opposite the galley, on the starboard side. The head is located just aft of the bow cabin on the both sides.

The design has a hull speed of 6.71 kn.
