The Duck 31 is a performance-oriented sailing cruiser that emerged in the early 1980s as a bold entry into the competitive Half Ton class. Designed by the Italian naval architect Massimo Paperini and primarily built by the Avallone shipyard (which took over the Artmare facilities), the vessel was conceived to challenge the dominance of contemporary designs like the Farr 31. Characterized by an exceptionally wide beam for its length—measuring 3.75 meters (12.30 feet) against an overall length of 9.20 meters (30.18 feet)—the Duck 31 represented a shift toward more spacious, high-volume hulls that maintained racing pedigree. While it was offered as a production boat, it also gained popularity through "do-it-yourself" kits, allowing owners to customize the interior and finish quality.
