The Beneteau 31 is a recreational keelboat, built predominantly of glassfibre. It has a fractional sloop rig, a nearly-plumb stem, a reverse transom, an internally-mounted spade-type rudder controlled by a wheel and a fixed fin keel. It displaces 8,933 lb (4,052 kg) and carries 2,207 lb (1,001 kg) of ballast.[1]
The boat has a draft of 5.83 ft (1.78 m) with the standard keel and 4.25 ft (1.30 m) with the optional shoal draft keel. the shoal draft keel version carries 2,412 lb (1,094 kg) of ballast.[1]
The boat is fitted with a Japanese Yanmar diesel engine of 22 hp (16 kW). The fuel tank holds 34 U.S. gallons (130 L; 28 imp gal) and the fresh water tank also has a capacity of 34 U.S. gallons (130 L; 28 imp gal).[1]
The design has sleeping accommodation for four people, with a double "V"-berth berth in the bow cabin, a straight settee and dining table in the main cabin and an aft cabin with a transverse double berth on the port side. The galley is located on the port side at the companionway ladder. The galley is C-shaped and is equipped with a two-burner stove and a double sink. The enclosed head is located opposite the galley, aft.[1]
The design has a PHRF racing average handicap of 135 with a high of 129 and low of 153. It has a hull speed of 7.15 kn (13.24 km/h).[4]
