About the ATALANTA 31 (UK)

Twin drop keels each weighing 1000lbs, hydraulically lifted and Lifting rudder. See ATALANTA 26.

The Atalanta 31 is a rare, historic vessel designed by Uffa Fox and built by Fairey Marine (UK), with only 12 hulls constructed in 1956. Its status as a low-production classic from a single year makes it a unique collector's item rather than a mass-market cruiser.

Best for:

This boat suits serious classic boat enthusiasts and coastal cruisers who value historical pedigree and traditional design over modern amenities. Its heavy displacement and twin keel configuration appeal to those seeking a stable, traditional sailing experience.

Bluewater capability:

With a displacement of 8000.0 lb and a capsize ratio of 1.6, the Atalanta 31 exhibits strong offshore stability and seaworthiness typical of Uffa Fox's robust designs. Its twin keel configuration provides additional safety and grounding resilience for bluewater passages.

Comparables:

Comparable boats include other Uffa Fox designs from the 1950s, such as the Atalanta 29 or the larger Atalanta 35, which share similar traditional aesthetics and heavy-displacement characteristics. It also compares to other Fairey Marine classics of the era that prioritize seaworthiness and traditional construction methods.
