The Cape 31 has rapidly established itself as one of the most exciting race boats on the international circuit. Conceived by Lord Irvine Laidlaw, designed by Mark Mills, and built by Cape Performance Sailing in Cape Town, the class has gained a reputation for thrilling performance, competitive one-design fleet racing, and versatility under multiple rating systems.
At just over 31 feet, the Cape 31 is light, fast, and responsive, typically sailed with 7–8 crew. The class welcomes a mix of owner-drivers, amateurs, and professionals, making it a truly inclusive yet highly competitive racing platform. With proven results — including two-time overall winner of Les Voiles de St Tropez and sweeping the podium at the UK IRC Nationals — the Cape 31 is a serious contender in both one-design and IRC racing.
Adrenaline, launched in 2022, is a superb example of the class. She comes with a full sail wardrobe and is ready to race at the highest level. Her clever design makes logistics easy: the two-piece mast allows the boat to be shipped in a 40ft container, while the tilt-trailer option opens up simple and legal road transport across Europe — perfect for chasing regattas in the Med or further afield.
