MAESTRO 31

About the MAESTRO 31

Designed as IOR 1/2 ton racer.

Designed by van de Stadt and built by Maestro in Finland, the Maestro 31 is a compact cruiser from 1982 with a fractional sloop rig. While the exact hull count is unknown, the fleet is characterized by its light displacement of 5512.0 lb and a comfort ratio of 15.1, indicating a performance-oriented design that prioritizes speed over heavy sea-keeping.

Best for:

This boat suits coastal cruisers and weekend racers who value agility and ease of handling, particularly those comfortable with single-handed sailing due to its fractional rig and relatively light weight. It is less ideal for those seeking a heavy-displacement bluewater passage maker.

Bluewater capability:

With a capsize ratio of 2.31 and a displacement of 5512.0 lb, the Maestro 31 is best suited for protected coastal waters rather than extended bluewater passages, as its light weight and fin keel prioritize performance over heavy-sea stability.

Comparables:

Comparable boats include the Beneteau First 30 and the O'Day 30, as they share similar fractional sloop rigs, light-to-moderate displacement, and a focus on coastal performance rather than heavy offshore durability. The Maestro 31's Finnish construction offers a distinct alternative to these more common American and European designs from the early 1980s.
