About the BRISE DE MER 31
Originally designed as IOR 1/2 Ton and built of Aluminum. Short (shown here) and long coach roof versions. See BRISE DE MER 31 (LC).
The Brise de Mer 31 is a classic 30.51 ft masthead sloop designed by Finot, with 110 hulls built between 1970 and 1982. This data-driven synthesis reflects owner reports and listings, noting that the boat is a well-regarded cruising companion with a moderate displacement of 4850.0 lb.
- Best for:
- This vessel suits coastal cruisers and couples seeking a manageable, comfortable day-sailer or short-passages boat, given its moderate comfort ratio of 12.96 and manageable beam of 10.5 ft.
- Bluewater capability:
- With a capsize ratio of 2.48 and a displacement of 4850.0 lb, the boat offers reasonable stability for coastal passages but is generally considered too light-displacement for extended heavy-weather bluewater voyaging.
- Comparables:
- Comparable boats include the Cal 30 and O'Day 30, as they share similar production eras, masthead sloop rigs, and moderate displacement figures suitable for coastal cruising.
