History and Design

The Dehler 31 was in production from 1984 to 1994, a decade that saw Dehler Yachts solidify its reputation for innovative use of glass-fiber reinforced plastic (GRP) and a focus on performance. During this era, Dehler, founded by brothers Willi and Heinz Dehler, was driven by a passion to build comfortable, fast yachts, a philosophy clearly reflected in the Dehler 31. The yacht is sometimes referred to as the Dehler 32
