The Herreshoff 31 stands as the quintessential expression of the Cat Ketch Corporation’s mission to simplify cruising without sacrificing the aesthetic pedigree of the Herreshoff name. Designed by Halsey Herreshoff and produced between 1979 and 1986, the model was the flagship of a movement that sought to modernize the traditional cat-ketch rig using contemporary materials. With approximately 100 units produced, it remains the most prolific model from the Honduras-based yard, offering a distinct alternative to the sloop-dominated coastal cruising market of the 1980s. The vessel is characterized by its unstayed masts, a sharp entry, and a surprisingly commodious interior for its length, aiming to provide a "stress-free" sailing experience for couples or small families.
