Designed by Ben Lexcen and crafted by the Zuanelli shipyard, this 1981 Miller 31 represents a classic opportunity for sailing enthusiasts. With an overall length of 9.3 meters and a beam of 3.2 meters, this sloop offers a balance of sailing performance and cruising comfort, characterized by its sleek, planing-oriented hull lines. The vessel is currently available at a reduced price of 16.000 EUR, with VAT status confirmed as paid.
Powering this vessel is a 28hp Volvo Penta engine, installed in 2003, featuring a reliable sail-drive transmission. The technical setup has been significantly improved with an electrical system overhaul performed around 2022. On-board systems are supported by a 100W photovoltaic panel, two batteries (100Ah and 150Ah), and a comprehensive hydraulic system featuring both stainless steel and flexible water tanks.
The interior layout provides surprisingly generous volume for its class, boasting a cabin height of 1.85 meters. Designed to accommodate up to five people, the layout includes a double berth in the bow, two berths in the square with a convertible double, and an additional quarter berth near the navigation table. The galley area, situated opposite the navigation desk, is equipped with a two-burner gimballed gas stove and a refrigerator for extended time on the water.
Equipped for both comfort and utility, the cockpit features fiberglass construction with wood benches, a bathing platform with a ladder, and a passerelle. For navigation and safety, the boat includes GPS, VHF, and dual echo sounders. The sail wardrobe includes a mainsail and a jib, with an additional jib requiring minor modifications.
This used boat is currently lying in Toscana, Italy. For further inquiries or to arrange a viewing, please contact the agency at via Carlo Ginori, 95 in Cecina Mare.
