The Parker 31 is a 31.0ft fractional sloop designed by Tony Castro and built in fiberglass by Parker Yachts (UK) between 1987 and 1993.
30 units have been built.
The Parker 31 is a light sailboat which is a good performer. It is reasonably stable / stiff and has a low righting capability if capsized. It is best suited as a day-boat. The fuel capacity is originally small. There is a very short water supply range.
