The design is a development of the Rush 31 and one of many boats based on that same hull.[1][2][5][6]
Production
editThe design was built by Jeanneau in France from 1979 until 1984, but it is now out of production.[1][2][7][8]
Design
editThe Rush Royale 31 is a racing keelboat, built predominantly of fiberglass, with wood trim. It has a fractional sloop rig, a raked stem, a reverse transom, an internally mounted spade-type rudder and a fixed fin keel. It displaces 6,394 lb (2,900 kg) and carries 2,491 lb (1,130 kg) of lead ballast.[1][2]
The boat has a draft of 5.60 ft (1.71 m) with the standard keel.[1][2]
The boat is fitted with a French Renault diesel engine of 18 hp (13 kW) for docking and maneuvering. The fuel tank holds 7 U.S. gallons (26 L; 5.8 imp gal).[1][2]
For sailing downwind the design may be equipped with a symmetrical spinnaker.[1][2]
The design has a hull speed of 6.76 kn (12.52 km/h).[2]
Operational history
editSailboat Lab notes, "the Rush Royale 31 Jeanneau is a light sailboat which is a good performer. It is stable / stiff and has a low righting capability if capsized. It is best suited as a day-boat. The fuel capacity is originally very small."[9]
