The Irwin 31 Citation represents a pivotal shift in Ted Irwin’s design language during the late 1970s. Moving away from the heavier, more traditional cruising silhouettes that defined early models like the Irwin 30, the Citation series was conceived to offer more competitive performance and a sleeker, modern profile. Produced primarily between 1978 and 1984, the 31 Citation was marketed as a "performance cruiser," balancing a nimble fin-keel underbody with the voluminous interior for which Irwin was famous. This model was intended to compete with the burgeoning "racer-cruiser" market led by builders like Catalina and Hunter, offering a boat that could hold its own in club racing while providing comfortable accommodations for a family of four.
