About the SHE 31

S&S design #1899. Also known as the DELTA 94. South Hants Engineering also built a variant of this design called the SHE 9.5 TRAVELLER, a cruising version, with slightly more headroom. Another version of this design was the IW-31(#1899C), built in Sweden.

Direct variant of the SHE 31

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.
