The design was built by Jeanneau in France from 1979 until 1984, but it is now out of production.[1] [2] [7] [8]
The 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 63940NaN0 and carries 24910NaN0 of lead ballast.[1] [2]
The boat has a draft of 5.6feet with the standard keel.[1] [2]
The boat is fitted with a French Renault diesel engine of 180NaN0 for docking and maneuvering. The fuel tank holds .[1] [2]
For sailing downwind the design may be equipped with a symmetrical spinnaker.[1] [2]
The design has a hull speed of 6.76kn.[2]
Sailboat 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]
