The Marlow-Hunter 31 is a modern cruising sailboat designed by Glenn Henderson and built by Marlow Hunter in the USA, with production records indicating a start year of 2015. As a relatively new entry in the market, the fleet is small, with the exact total number of hulls built remaining unconfirmed in available data.

Best for:

This boat suits coastal cruisers and weekend sailors who prioritize modern amenities and ease of handling, as evidenced by the high prevalence of solar panel and watermaker installations for self-sufficiency.

Bluewater capability:

With a displacement of 11854.0 lb and a capsize ratio of 2.08, the boat offers moderate stability for coastal passages, though its relatively light displacement and fin keel suggest it is better suited for protected waters than heavy offshore expeditions.

Comparables:

Comparable boats include other modern fractional-rigged 30-foot cruisers like the Beneteau First 31 or Hunter 310, sharing similar beam widths and fractional rig configurations that favor performance and ease of single-handed sailing.
