Seller's Description
Many have been asking for this 2016 Marlow Hunter 31 and it has finally arrived. She is simply gorgeous! Put your mouse down and take a hard look. Your search has come to a close!
The Marlow-Hunter 31 follows the pedigree of the 40 and 37 which Marlow-Hunter also introduced in the last two years under the new leadership of owner David Marlow. Mr. Marlow, the owner of Marlow Yachts, a luxury power yacht builder, has raised the bar by influencing the quality and design of a brand that already had forty years of experience building sailboats.
The Marlow-Hunter 31 has a Length Overall of 32’4” and a beam of 11’10” and will be hard to compare with any model in her size range that tries to compete. One of her best features is the spacious cockpit that will deliver a feel more like that of a larger boat.
The performance will also be one of Marlows strong features with a large sail area and a Glenn Henderson hull design and hard chine aft below her waterline which has become a signature for Marlow-Hunter sailboats built under David Marlow.
Below deck, the quality of fit and finish are hand-crafted using real teak furniture and flooring, Corian countertops, ball-bearing drawer hardware, and quality appliances and equipment.
Her hull and decks utilize Vinyl Ester resins and gel coats, continuous reinforcement fibers, Kevlar, and state-of-the-art Nida-coring for structural integrity and peace of mind for ours and our customers.

Calculations
- Hull Speed

8.6 kn
Classic: 7.3 kn
Hull Speed
The theoretical maximum speed that a displacement hull can move efficiently through the water is determined by it's waterline length and displacement. It may be unable to reach this speed if the boat is underpowered or heavily loaded, though it may exceed this speed given enough power. Read more.
Formula
Classic hull speed formula:
Hull Speed = 1.34 x √LWL
A more accurate formula devised by Dave Gerr in The Propeller Handbook replaces the Speed/Length ratio constant of 1.34 with a calculation based on the Displacement/Length ratio.
Max Speed/Length ratio = 8.26 ÷ Displacement/Length ratio.311
Hull Speed = Max Speed/Length ratio x √LWL
- Sail Area/Displacement
-
17.9
Sail Area / Displacement Ratio
A measure of the power of the sails relative to the weight of the boat. The higher the number, the higher the performance, but the harder the boat will be to handle. This ratio is a "non-dimensional" value that facilitates comparisons between boats of different types and sizes. Read more.
Formula
SA/D = SA ÷ (D ÷ 64)2/3
- SA: Sail area in square feet, derived by adding the mainsail area to 100% of the foretriangle area (the lateral area above the deck between the mast and the forestay).
- D: Displacement in pounds.
- Ballast/Displacement
-
28.5
<40: less stiff, less powerful
Ballast / Displacement Ratio
A measure of the stability of a boat's hull that suggests how well a monohull will stand up to its sails. The ballast displacement ratio indicates how much of the weight of a boat is placed for maximum stability against capsizing and is an indicator of stiffness and resistance to capsize.
Formula
Ballast / Displacement * 100
- Displacement/Length
-
202.9
200-300: moderate
Displacement / Length Ratio
A measure of the weight of the boat relative to it's length at the waterline. The higher a boat’s D/L ratio, the more easily it will carry a load and the more comfortable its motion will be. The lower a boat's ratio is, the less power it takes to drive the boat to its nominal hull speed or beyond. Read more.
Formula
D/L = (D ÷ 2240) ÷ (0.01 x LWL)³
- D: Displacement of the boat in pounds.
- LWL: Waterline length in feet
- Comfort Ratio
-
22.2
20-30: coastal cruiser
Comfort Ratio
This ratio assess how quickly and abruptly a boat’s hull reacts to waves in a significant seaway, these being the elements of a boat’s motion most likely to cause seasickness. Read more.
Formula
Comfort ratio = D ÷ (.65 x (.7 LWL + .3 LOA) x Beam1.33)
- D: Displacement of the boat in pounds
- LWL: Waterline length in feet
- LOA: Length overall in feet
- Beam: Width of boat at the widest point in feet
- Capsize Screening
-
2.1
>2.0: better suited for coastal cruising
Capsize Screening Formula
This formula attempts to indicate whether a given boat might be too wide and light to readily right itself after being overturned in extreme conditions. Read more.
Formula
CSV = Beam ÷ ³√(D / 64)
- Beam: Width of boat at the widest point in feet
- D: Displacement of the boat in pounds
