Sirocco 31

Designed by renowned British naval architect Angus Primrose and first launched in 1971, this Spanish-built cruiser represents solid European craftsmanship from sailing's golden era. Built by Ballina Marine in fiberglass construction, the Sirocco 31 features a balanced fin keel with rudder on skeg configuration that provides reliable directional stability while maintaining good maneuverability. With a displacement of 6,500 pounds and nearly half that weight carried as ballast, this masthead sloop offers reassuring stability for coastal and offshore passages. The boat's conservative sail area to displacement ratio of 14.52 indicates she's built more for comfort and seaworthiness than racing performance, while her low capsize screening value of 1.99 speaks to inherent safety margins that inspire confidence in challenging conditions. The Sirocco 31's moderate beam of 9.25 feet strikes an appealing balance between interior space and sailing performance, while her 5.5-foot draft provides good windward ability without limiting access to many harbors. Her comfort ratio of 19.88 suggests motion that's manageable for extended cruising, making this design well-suited for sailors seeking a reliable, traditional cruising yacht capable of handling both weekend coastal hops and longer passages with equal competence.
