Designer's Comments

The WP 31 is a larger version of my earlier design, the Wedge Point 27. She is intended for moderate speed cruising on inland or coastal waters.

Hull form is a moderate vee-bottom rising aft to operate efficiently at sub-planing speeds. The engine is mostly hidden with an inboard well under the raked and curved transom. There is a centerline keel both to enhance directional stability, and to protect the outboard from floating drift.

Construction is mainly plywood, with closely spaced ¾” ply web frames supporting laminated longitudinal members and an all plywood skin.

There is a double berth, private head, and storage under the foredeck, where headroom is about 5’5”. The deckhouse and cockpit area have full (6’4”) headroom and a combined length of 13’6”. This may be completely enclosed with temporary curtains around the aft end. Here we have plenty of space for dining area, galley, helm, and additional seating.
