Description: Archambault A31
NOW SOLD: The Joubert Nivelt designed Archambault 31 is one of the most successful IRC race yachts of her time. Previous owners of this A31 have all enjoyed consistent success and your opportunity is here to continue that stellar record. She was recently crowned IRC National Champion in her division at Port Lincoln 2023. We at 38 South Yacht Sales have actively raced on this yacht and we know her well.

Light, consistently fast, great fun to sail and exceptionally well equipped, this A31 has been carefully optimised to win and is the ideal IRC Regatta performer. Features include NZ Rigging carbon mast with hydraulic jack tensioning, new rod rigging in 2021, carbon plank type boom (plus the original alloy boom as a spare) and a wardrobe of highly competitive Doyle sails, many near new, together with a Brookes and Gatehouse performance electronics package - this competitive A31 is ideally placed to continue on her winning way.

Not just an IRC racer, her current owners have also enjoyed fun mid-week no-extras sailing in which her lively performance has proved highly enjoyable. Surprisingly, she's comfortably appointed too with features like refrigeration, hot water for the shower and at the galley, with comfortable berths you might not expect.

This A31 has been thoughtfully upgraded and refined to keep her at peak performance with new deck hardware, electronics, sails and equipment as needed. Now offered for sale as a turn-key proposition, your inspection is highly recommended.
