The Cape 31 designer Mark Mills says the order book for new boats is filling up for 2023 after a successful 2022 season so far.
County Wicklow-based Mark Mill says the class came of age at July's Cowes Week, where an 18-boat fleet 'lived up to all the promise'.
Building on the success of its strong UK – and now a five-boat Irish fleet – new Cape 31s are being delivered to the USA, France, Hong Kong, the Netherlands, and Australia, with interest from Denmark, Italy, and New Zealand.
As regular Afloat readers know, Anthony O'Leary's 'Antix' crew won the Cape 31 inaugural Irish National Championships raced as part of Cork Week.
Next up for the Cape 31s is Land Union September Regatta organised by the Royal Southern Yacht Club on the Solent from 24-25 September 2022.
