Van De Stadt Maestro 31

1986 Van de Stadt Maestro 31 - Race Ready and Well Maintained

This 1986 Van de Stadt Maestro 31 is a versatile and well-kept sailing yacht, equally suited to competitive club racing, coastal cruising or relaxed family sailing.

Designed by renowned naval architect E. G. Van de Stadt, the Maestro 31 offers an excellent balance of performance, stability and practical accommodation. With standing rigging less than ten years old, a new furler installed in 2024 and a strong inventory of equipment, she presents as a capable, race-ready yacht that has clearly benefited from attentive ownership and ongoing maintenance.

Her electronics were significantly upgraded in 2024 with the installation of new B&G instruments, a new marine radio and AIS. All navigation lights were replaced in 2025, while the electrical system received further attention in 2026 with a new circuit board, switchboard, associated wiring and two new batteries.

Sailing hardware has also been maintained and upgraded, including the installation of a new Harken mainsheet block in 2025. The hull was professionally resprayed in 2023, contributing to her well-presented appearance and giving the vessel a fresh, clean finish for her age.

Auxiliary power is provided by a Nanni N2-10 diesel engine, installed as a replacement in 2016 and showing approximately 200 hours of use. The engine provides economical and dependable propulsion, with the vessel cruising comfortably under power at approximately 6.5 knots.

Under sail, the Maestro 31 is responsive and rewarding to handle, offering the performance required for competitive racing while remaining manageable and comfortable for cruising. Her practical deck layout, efficient hull design and well-maintained rig make her an appealing option for sailors seeking a yacht capable of performing across a broad range of conditions.

Below deck, the interior provides practical accommodation for weekends away, with a functional saloon, sleeping arrangements, galley facilities and useful storage throughout. Her strong inventory further enhances the package, allowing the next owner to enjoy the vessel without immediately needing to undertake substantial upgrades.

Whether purchased as an affordable club racer, a capable coastal cruiser or a combination of both, this Van de Stadt Maestro 31 represents an excellent opportunity to secure a proven, versatile and well-maintained sailing yacht.
