About the RUSH 31 (JEANNEAU)
Based on a successful IOR 1/2 ton design, a number of different versions of the RUSH 31 were available besides the basic model with various performance enhancements: The GTE, REGATTA which had a lead keel, and the ROYAL. (The RUSH ROYAL STD was a selection for the 'Tour de France à la voile' 1982-1983.) In the US a boat based on this hull design was built under licence as the CAL 9.2.
Direct variant of the RUSH 31 (JEANNEAU)
Near-identical models — same hull, builder and designer, re-badged or lightly changed. Specs and owner-reported issues are typically shared across the group, so a sister model's page may carry detail this one doesn't.
