Yamaha 31 S

Description

The Yamaha 31 S (also known as Yamaha 31S or sometimes grouped with the 31 S Ltd) is a Japanese-built fiberglass coastal cruiser from the late 1980s–early 1990s, produced by Yamaha Marine. It was designed with an emphasis on quality construction, responsive sailing, and comfortable accommodations for its size. The "S" designation typically indicates a sport or taller-rig version, optimized for better light-air performance compared to any standard or "EX" variants in the 31-foot line.
